the writing
the Shakespeare references / jokes
the acting!
What I didn't like
I would love to see this show with a full set etc. (obviously difficult at Fringe, so somebody give them a run!)
My overall impression
This was an incredibly clever, funny, & moving show! Besides making me laugh out loud several times (especially from the extremely well-timed references to the two Shakespeare plays), I thought both James & Nicole were very grounded in the truth of being surrounded by extreme tragedy in their lives. For me, this is a sweet story about what it means to listen well, be there for someone, and about a particular (and important!) kind of friend that provides perspectives on people and situations in your life that you may be too close to. For never was there a play to which you should go / more speedily than this of Horatio & Benvolio!!!!!
