This is a "must see" that "tour de force" doesn't even begin to describe. Brilliantly written! Brilliantly paced! Brilliantly realized. Katie takes us on a journey that showcases her ease at shifting persona that makes your head spin. There's never a question of who's who as she changes characters in a split second; often carrying on conversations with herself that ma... full review
