Impressive, breathtaking, and hauntingly real. This is the first example I have ever seen in theatre of someone who had a coming out like mine - not being aware of being a part of the LGBTQPIA+ community until well after becoming an adult. Not everyone's story is a straight line with a clear path and this show exemplifies that in a very honest way.... full review

I don't remember the last time I have seen an entire audience so moved. Frequently I would notice multiple people nodding in agreement and acceptance, not to mention heads bopping to the music. Moving and real and absolutely wonderful... full review

The perfect Fringe show. A hilarious send up of the 80s slasher films which helped turn me into a horror fan. ... full review
