Saw this today and loved it. This writing duo excels at taking serious social issues like loneliness and addiction and exploring them with humour and big hearts. Great performances, nicely-judged staging, definitely one to catch!

Theatre reviews: Dancing Shoes | Bounce A show full of humour and pathos, Dancing Shoes makes all the right moves, writes Joyce McMillan

“A rare and inspired display of small-scale theatrical brilliance, packed with humour, pathos and the kind of quickfire street banter that has audiences shouting with laughter…” 😊 www.scotsman.com/arts-and-cul...

Think that's an issue with the format of not revealing if they are traitor/faithful - big incentive to just vote more folk off to increase their prize pot, under the guise there might be more Traitors.

Yep. I think the Seer power ruined it tbh.
