“Vuletic is utterly magnetic”
— The Age
★★★★★
“Ali (is) made wholly flesh by a glorious Jennifer Vuletic - bounces from laughs to gasps and back again with ease. “Vuletic was absolutely phenomenal... captivating... audience in the palm of her hand…masterclass in acting and stagecraft”
— Theatre Travels.
★★★★
The warts-and-all portrait of her life bristles with self-deprecating humour, sharp observation, and gossipy wit. Vuletic is utterly magnetic, investing Ali with compelling intelligence and an irresistible, almost conspiratorial sense of humour, while tracing the character’s vulnerabilities and shadow-lines to poignant effect.
It’s a liberating, beautifully acted piece, and the real magic lies in how completely it reverses the vanishing act that seems to accompany the sexuality of middle-aged women, and lesbians in particular, in a sex-positive way.
— The Age
Jennifer Vuletic achieves a completely captivating performance as Ali, and as the supporting characters that we meet along the way. Her ability to channel Ali's frustrations and disappointment with what her life has become and the exhilaration of realising that there's more to discover is perfectly balanced.
—My Melbourne Arts
Montgomery Griffiths’ writing is clever, cutting and poignant. The script is full of rich and researched detail that never once feels superfluous. References to ‘FetLife’ and ‘munches’ will have some chuckling knowingly and others racing home to do some late-night Googling. The journey of Ali feels real and grounded, made wholly flesh by a glorious Jennifer Vuletic, a masterful puppeteer of our rapt attention.

Performer Jennifer Vuletic is outstanding in her brave portrayal of a woman who has everything but yearns for so much more.
— Milkbar Mag
Ali is living the rainbow family dream, but something is missing: a secret desire that lies far beyond her routine of soccer runs, Saturday night TV and flannel pyjamas. Join her as she slips out of the house - and into some serious knots!
Hilariously funny and sensitively erotic, Ali’s journey into BDSM will resonate with anyone, gay or straight, who, as they negotiate their way through life, has ever wondered, ‘What if…?’
