Definitely worth seeing! It's the kind of material that makes you think as well - there is an interesting set of threads - the story of the war vet back from Irag with robotic arms and legs that Cigdem sees in the airport, making her thankful for his sacrifice, stories of her grandfather building a secular Turkey and the tendency of her family members to constantly insert high drama into everyday life...

I really enjoyed the Seinfeldesque storytelling and her observations about family and life in general. I recommend checking it out! Did we see the same performance?

Nothing cutting edge, but good old-fashioned storytelling with fun stories. The audience I saw it with seemed to find the the perfomer and her stories engaging. Would especially recommend for first time Fringe goers. I thought this was an enjoyable show. Nothing cutting edge, but good old-fashioned storytelling with fun stories.
