The one-woman show, written by Geraldine Aron, follows award-winning comedian, Dillie Keane, as the freshly divorced Angela Lipsky.

Jilted after husband Max –– otherwise known as the slightly less affectionate Round Head –– runs off with a string of continental flings in the midst of a mid-life crisis, Angela finds herself adrift in a sea of dodgy solicitors, unhelpful helpline counsellors and a disapproving mother in an attempt to get her life back on track.

My Brilliant Divorce, nominated for an Olivier award in 2004 during its West End streak, is an entertaining jaunt into the mind of a divorcee and, although not an especially bold production, makes for highly entertaining viewing.

Dillie Keane handles the stage well and is clearly unphased by having to cope with the responsibility of entertaining the entire audience on her own.

Keane's comedic ability and timing shows as she delivers the consistently hilarious jokes and anecdotes with ease, probably owing in the most part to her previous roles in Grumpy Old Women and The Vagina Monologues.

The play is, however, highly predictable. And its climax can easily be anticipated within the first half hour of this 90-minute performance.
Some may also find the character of Angela frustrating, as she consistently laments the loss of her husband to audiences.

This constant self-pity only lapses momentarily throughout, and though Angela does see occasional moments of liberation they are quickly over-ruled by her remorseful phone calls to ex-husband Max.

Despite this, My Brilliant Divorce is an entertaining and funny play, with a number of laugh out loud moments. Although it may not be breaking any new ground, or tearing up the rule book, this makes for highly entertaining viewing and is well worth the trip.
