Adam's commitment to inhabiting Conrad (and what inhabits Conrad) is a marvel. Such a beautiful study of focus and stillness, with these bursts of the kinetic energy which pules through you. A truly haunting show that will make your skin crawl....

I really enjoyed the structure of the show, and the opportunity for many of these skilled performers to show their range (and for some of them, to show just how far their charm alone could carry them... to be clear, very far)....

I can't say enough good things about this show....

Deserving of consideration for Top of Fringe. It's so funny, tragic, and hopeful. Such an incredible and vulnerable exploration of dating while trans so perfectly personified through the contrasting characters of Kara (a cis white woman and dating advice columnist) and Russ (he/they) (a chronically ill, chronically single, Filipino/Dominican, Nonbinary, Bi guy....

An absolute masterclass in clowning, especially her contact with the audience. Such vulnerability and humor in a show that tackles motherhood, identity, and the person (or creature?) that Veronica became postpartum....
