"One day is a story about two students at Edinburgh university who meet on the 15th of July 1988 and fall in love. The story follows them through the next 20 years as they meet up on the same day each year. It was performed in the round, so we were sat at the back of the stage itself, and it was very clever staging. The set design was incredible with great attention to detail including 70s carpet. I liked the in jokes for Edinburgh people!

Music was used to tell some of the story in a much more artistic way and was appropriate to the era it was played in. The performances were great from all the cast. Many were playing multiple roles with strong singing and dancing performances. Lighting design was very good and was used to show different emotions and environments. And overall, it was a very, very sad story I was borderline crying by the interval. it is very worth going to see."
