What readers are saying

Readers have mixed feelings about the play, with many praising its combination of comedy and drama, as well as its engaging characters like Ana. However, a few find certain aspects thin or uninteresting, particularly those who encountered it as part of school assignments. Overall, the play seems to resonate well with audiences when experienced in a live setting.

Synopsis

And God said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour.

He obviously had not reckoned on Ana.

This is a glorious comedy about hope, death and pets.

It is a classic odd-couple story: opposites attract, and from each other they gain a new understanding.

But as the domestic crises accumulate, "Neighbourhood Watch" takes on a sense of enormity in the midst of the ordinary that would make Patrick White proud.

Katz is a true original and in Neighbourhood Watch her spirit of curiosity turns optimism into an art form.

(2 Acts, 5 male, 2 female).
