My overall impression

Funded primarily by passion and performed in a tiny space, Aperture is an inspiration. The acting is fluid and strong; the writing tight, smart, funny, daring and provocative. One hilarious line about boundaries will always stay with me.

The play fits neatly into an hour and ends at just the right time. I predicted the big plot twist fairly early on, but its execution was handled so well it didn’t bother me.

I wish that Los Angeles had more of this kind of totally original, darkly experimental and (relatively) full-length late-night fare happening outside of the perimeters of the Fringe. For now, I’ll be grateful to the Fringe for making the notion a possibility and for allowing me to see it happen.
