Close enough is an autobiographical solo performance about belonging that challenges stereotypes around immigrant women from Eastern Europe.
The piece is based on real-life experiences of actress Cristina Varga, who moved to the UK 3 months before Brexit. With a comedic approach, Cristina 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 music, 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.
Close Enough premiered in April 2023 as part of The Lab, Theatre Royal Plymouth.
Alongside Danni Watmore, Cristina is the co-founder of Everything but Theatre Company, a theatre company based in Plymouth that celebrates the complexities of human life through farce, absurdity and stupidity. The company is currently working on their second show called Let’s Make a Show [working title] that has been performed at Scratch nights.
