Theatre review Ambika Mod excels in tale of grim addiction
The Guardian

"It's not that deep," Ani's friend assures her. Who cares if she watches a lot of extreme pornography?
But after the light is switched off, Ani can't get through their sleepover without masturbating to porn on her phone. The friend wakes up next to her and exits in disgust.
The same scenario has led Ani, a 30-year-old academic, to break up with her partner. Ani, despite her robust reasoning, is troubled by her behaviour. So, too, is her father when Ani hides in her childhood bedroom with her laptop.
It's frequently funny but this bold play by Sophia Chetin-Leuner captures the wearying compulsion of an addict, showing how the search for release has turned into grim habit. In a riveting performance, Ambika Mod makes Ani's isolation and emptiness as moving as it is unsettling.
