It takes a very courageous actor to do a one-person show. It takes an even more courageous one to bare their soul and navigate the waters with such ridiculous physical and mental fortitude. As an actor I know of these challenges first-hand, and can only say I was blown away by Keaton Talmadge’s performance.
The themes are familiar and universal, but often misunderstood; especially given the current climate surrounding Prop 8 and equality legislation nationwide. Although the show only hints at current affairs, it does much more, by allowing us to catch a unique, transparent glimpse of the tormented soul of someone who pushes through adversity and questions of identity.
Kelleia Sheerin’s direction is spot-on, nailing the frenetic action and pace of the narrative, and frankly the show is so engrossing, so unbelievably dialed, one almost feels as if only 10 minutes have elapsed by the time Ms. Talmadge received her much deserved Standing-O.
The writing is superb, the humor and wit dialed; frankly, I left feeling lucky I had the chance to marvel at the skill of an actor on top their game in such an intimate environment. Well worth the effort, and highly recommended!
