As you look through the Festival guide, if you come across the faces of three middle-age women staring intensely at you, it is probably The Kransky Sisters. Their unique and brilliant new show Heard it on the Wireless is a series of comical moments created by three talented actresses who work together to paint the lives of three very different and hilarious sisters. As the oldest sister narrates stories from their lives, the tales are punctuated by intermittent bursts of music played on keyboard, kitchenware and a tuba.

The varied personalities of the sisters are what make the show shine. The oldest is stoic and staunchly represses the other two sisters with hilarious fear tactics. The second sister follows obediently but reveals glimpses of a deep yearning for sexual contact’one of the funniest moments came when the sisters get a man from the audience up on stage to help them perform, and afterwards, when he kissed the second sister on the cheek, she responded by shaking and smiling uncontrollably. Finally the third sister is a simpleton who secretly steals moments of guilty pleasure by watching ‘Big Brother’ when the other two are not around.

If you are looking for a show with expertly crafted characters as well as sharp one-liners, The Kransky Sisters are not to be missed!
