REVIEW: In PurSUEt

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn PurSUEt is a one woman show about stalking Sue Perkins. This premise, coupled with the silly promo shots with a life-sized cardboard Sue, led me to expect pure frivolity; in actuality, writer-performer Eleanor Higgins’ debut show has a lot to say about obsession, addiction and denial – whilst also packing in the laughs.
