On Fiammetta Horvat's deft set, the cubicles become phone booths, changing rooms and nightclub toilets, the graffiti on the walls and the loo paper provide the script.

As you enter the barn like Pleasance Two you are greeted by an SFX drip and a wonderful stage setting that will instantly draw you in to the Paper Birds 'Thirsty' world.
All of this action takes place in a public toilet, which sounds like it might detract from the spectacle; but in fact the set design adds to it enormously. The trio of Fabergé toilet stalls continually spring surprises throughout the performance. It is a wonderfully imaginative depiction of a mundane everyday environment.
