Three girls, bossy Trisha (Fern Lim), small-fry actress Margot (Kayla
Conroy), and playwright Lily (Rachel Kay Barclay), have just been evicted
from their New York apartment, so they have to come up with a plan to make
enough money to be able to afford a new place - and thus create a business
being human telegraphs, delivering all kinds of messages to people in
person, read out loudly, and often wearing silly costumes - which not
always ends too well, but it gets them down payment on the place of their
dreams. Still, they have to navigate their way through their lives between
delivering messages as well, be it auditions gone wrong, failed theatre
productions, or shitty dates. Eventually, the chance of their lifetime
pops up out of nowhere, to perform a mini-play at the birthday party of
one of the town's greatest avant garde artists - if they succeed, their
business should sky-rocket, but unfortunately there are too many aspects
about that that can go wrong ... Despite its somewhat
far-fetched premise, this is basically a slice-of-life comedy series - and
it's very good at that as well, as the three leads fill their roles well,
come across as suitably bubbly and likeable while showing great talent for
comedy, the writing is witty without going too over-the-top, and the
direction is suitably subtle, all making for pretty cool serialized
comedy.

Tales to Chill Your Bones to -
a collection of short stories and mini-plays ranging from the horrific to the darkly humourous,
