'Addictive theatre' - Lynn Freeman, Capital Times.

While cafes supply a fix to thousands of Auckland's coffee addicts two people will be supplying the laughs in the caffeine based comedy, 'Biscuit & Coffee'...performing at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre in partnership with STAMP - Creative Development at THE EDGE ®.

Phil Ormsby, the writer/director and Alex Ellis, the performer of the one woman show claim to have the answers to the questions every dedicated java junkie must ask. Does the perfect coffee exist and where do I get it?

The show revolves around a central character, 'Biscuit' and her dysfunctional and obsessive, family, friends and colleagues as they search for the perfect coffee. Ellis tells the madcap tale of conspiracies, potions and ancient prophecies through the eyes of six very different characters while making and drinking coffee onstage. The more coffee that goes down the faster and more manic the story and story telling becomes leading to a final confrontation between all six characters that Ewen Coleman of the Dominion Post Wellington, described as 'Quite Extraordinary'.

Alex Ellis switches personalities at the drop of a coffee bean and effortlessly weaves her way through the increasingly serpentine storyline without missing a beat. The fast pace, subtle humour and lightening quick changes are guaranteed to keep you enthralled to the last second of the show Hawkes Bay Today described as 'An hour and quarter of pure genius'.
For a new way to celebrate coffee don't miss out on 'Biscuit & Coffee' at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre at THE EDGE ® from Tuesday 31st October to Saturday 11th November.
