What I liked

Duncan, Cameron and moments from the angry sister.

What I didn't like

More of Cameron! That guy is SUPER funny and talented (No, I don’t know him at all) – but I was bummed his part was so small. Also, the writer miscast herself in this show. She wasn’t right for Sophie. She’s a fine actress, just not right in this particular part. I think the script could have benefitted from a ‘script doctor’ to punch up the jokes, interactions and overall plot. It feels more like the start of an idea than a fleshed-out show. There also should have been music in between the scene transitions, it was a bit awkward.

My overall impression

Some really talented actors on stage who deserve better material. Though I will say that the script is relatively relatable if you’ve been cheated on by your partner and someone you considered an ally. Even more on the nose, someone who’s a colleague.
