Review by BRETT MOORE

June 17, 2024 certified reviewer

What I liked

Everything! The relatability and perfect interplay between the power of emotion to overwhelm logic, and the push and pull between the two voices, made for a lovely contrast. It made me uncomfortable because it was as though Dawn had stepped inside the deepest recesses of my mind and laid those inner voices bare on the stage.

What I didn't like

Only that I somehow want even more.

My overall impression

A jarringly relatable, humorous rollercoaster of a show. The characters are so contrasting yet complementary—Allison Landis as a perfect embodiment of anxiety and the fears in the dark corners of our minds, and Felicia Fairley as a cool, kind, and (mostly) patient voice of reason.
