Review by GLEN DUNZWEILER

What I liked

Christopher tells stories as fluidly as a ballet dancer moves. He welcomes the audience into his most private inner child as he wrestles with the reality of not having a father while growing up and therefore getting as much of a relationship as he can possibly can out of his dad as an adult.

What I didn't like

Even though the struggle with time management is part of the story, the reality that he ran out of time to complete his show fully is heartbreaking.

My overall impression

Christopher is sharing with his audience (in a very open and easy presentation style) his attempts to connect with his father who was absent during his childhood but who is sitting there on stage with Christopher during the show. His father is both a prop and a player in this ‘solo’ show.
