Tonight's the night we've waited for all season: we're finally finding out who killed Danny Solano. Is it creepy Susan, or creepy Paul? Maybe it's creepy Vince.

I'm constantly trying to reinvent myself in different ways. Whether it's my hair color, style, clothing, last name, first name...oops, I've said too much. Just know that one time I tried to reinvent myself as a witch named Gertrude and things didn't work out so well for a guy that now has purple hair, one eyebrow, and a lizard for a left hand. I quickly reinvented myself as a 20-something New Yorker that watches and writes about shows on some network called The CW.
Sink is a new one-woman show written and devised by a small company of just two women - the director, Helena Middleton, and the actor, Olivia Emden. Following the recent success of other one-woman shows such as Fleabag and The Edge of Our Bodies, Sink explores similar issues yet portrayed through a vastly different lens. A narrative made up solely of anecdotes that have occurred in a bathroom, this is a one-woman show with a difference. Through dental floss, and fluoride, shower-caps and shampoo, Sink makes its audience privy to a young girl's life and her relationship with her mother, in a wholly original and unexpected way. Playing around with the idea of storytelling, Sink promises laughs, penguins, and a tender portrayal of human relations, all around a bathroom sink. A black comedy with original music composed by Bristol based music producer Jack Drewry.
