Enough
Jane and Toni are immaculate, iconic, accommodating flight attendants. They're here for your safety, your comfort and your pleasure. Or so you think. But 30,000 feet below them their seemingly perfect lives are rapidly unravelling.
In the sky, over the sea and in cheap hotel rooms around the world, they can feel the ground shake beneath them. Something is rising up, something which cannot be ignored. And it's calling out for them. If they're going to survive what's coming, something needs to change.
Poetic, unpredictable and explosive, Stef Smith's play Enough is a fragmentary and intense journey into female friendship, and unearths what happens when you can no longer be the woman people want.
Enough premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, as part of the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Smiths' Human Animals was one of my fave books/plays of the year, earning a rare 5-star rating from me. This - I didn't get along with so well. First off, most of it is first address to the audience, of which I am never a fan. And a large part also entails poetic flights of fancy which, to my mind, made it difficult to follow and determine exactly what the play is trying to say. Undoubtedly plays better than it reads, but it's rather stilted on the page.

One of the best plays I have ever read. I liked Smith before but now I know I am a true devotee.
This 2 hander looks at female friendship and how complicated it can be. The beauty of the storytelling is in how each women narrates the other's life then flicks back to their own.
The idea of cracks, sand, dirt and destruction spills into their combined story. It is lyrical, visceral and relatable. Two flight attendants in their 40's making sense of their respective worlds and the whys and wherefores of their friendship and other relationships makes for a riveting read. I only wish I had seen it staged.
Smith's version of A Doll's House, 'Nora' is at the young vic in 2020. I will definitely be getting a ticket.
