I Am Seaweed resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed or persistently pressured to keep striving for more, for better. It's an entertaining and good-humoured show that asks us to look inside ourselves and question why we do everything we do and if it's actually making us happy.

— Myron My, MyMelbourneArts

A joyous work featuring a stunning, off-the-charts-charming performance from Cheryl Ho. Bold, energised, achingly-human and super sharp

Screaming, overwhelmed and frustrated: I just want to tear out my skin and smash my head against a wall!!!
