'Believe me, no English teacher can ever prepare you for that: a British white man talking in his native accent!'
Close Enough is an autobiographical solo performance about belonging that challenges stereotypes about immigrant women from Eastern Europe, presented by Everything but Theatre, a new theatre company based in Plymouth founded by Danni Watmore and Cristina Varga.
The show premiered at Theatre Royal Plymouth and it’s based on real-life experiences of actress Cristina Varga, who moved to the UK three months before Brexit. With a comedic approach, she shines light on the diversity and different dynamics between the two cultures that she is now part of, Romania and UK.
With the use of original live original music, mixed media and dance elements, Close Enough tackles subjects and stereotypes from both cultures such as the world-famous British politeness and the infamous stigma of being a morally-questionable Eastern European immigrant.
