What I liked

Her use of shadow puppetry added a magical touch to the storytelling, making the exploration of generational relationships deeply poignant. I love hearing her grandmothers voice and the sweet exchanges between the two of them. I had a smile on my face and tears on my cheeks the whole show.

What I didn't like

No notes

My overall impression

The show has an old soul, feeling as though it could have been performed 100 years ago. It’s charming, whimsical and earnest and brought back many fond memories of my grandmother.
