Billed as a “funny, fast-paced comedy” and “a riotous plunge”, Grindr Mom turns out to be neither.
Jessica Martin turns in a fabulous performance as a married Mormon mother who discovers that her son is gay, however Ronnie Larsen’s 80-minute monologue does not deserve her acting and (sometime singing) genius.
Larsen’s script lurches from one tediously bigoted cliché to the next, and while the drama’s closing chapter comes close to genuine pathos, the story’s ultimate finale is predictable and trite.
Rarely does an evening of comedy fall so flat.
Runs until 1st March
