My overall impression
Quicksand is wonderful. I loved it so much. Perfect from the first note.
Heather Fink does an incredible job of conveying the heaviness of serious subjects/stakes while still making the story palatable for the audience, which couldn’t have been easy.
She toed the line expertly. The show is very funny, and Fink’s conversational style is winning to the audience.
Based around her father’s paralyzing stroke and her subsequent role as a caregiver, I appreciate she took the time to give the audience a good sense of who her dad was prior to the stroke.
I also appreciate that in addition to what she was going through, she checks in with what her mom was going through, which is equally compelling.
The structure is very effective in breaking up segments of the show, it made the hour fly by.
The entire production is wonderful, kudos to everyone involved.
10/10 Highly Recommend. Get tickets now for the Saturday 7/29 show (closing night) because tonight the house was packed.
