OBSESSED

What a powerful story from Starr Shapiro. Trying to get a handle on one's own mental struggles is exhausting enough. Adding in grief (a huge trigger for those struggles) and family (yup, that adds another trigger) make this a compelling view of the lies our brain tells us and how hard it is to quiet them. ... full review

This was an amazingly emotional yet cathartic show that everyone should see!... full review

OBSESSED! It’s so satsifying watching a narrative unfold that knows when to make you laugh, cry, both at the same time— I mean this show is a roller coaster of emotions. When you’re not at the extremes, it felt like we were simmering, waiting to for something to snap the tension but afraid of what could come next.... full review

I loved it. A grounded exploration of grief, family dynamics, and mental illness. OBSESSED is captivating throughout, and leaves you wanting MORE!... full review

Very interesting show, leaving you with a lot to think about. Cast did a great job, with very natural dialogue. Philosophical, and dealing with social issues, but not in a boring, preachy way as some similar genre shows can tend to be. It felt very relatable. It brought up some things I hadn't considered before which I really like in a production. Great performances all around by the cast. ... full review

The show was very well performed and written. There's a lot of fast-paced, witty dialogue, that really helps sell the characters' states of mind. It's a great piece in showing the hereditary nature of mental illnesses, particularly anxiety but also gives a very specific point of view about OCD. It's emotionally heart-wrenching but also humorous. A great ebb and flow of emotional peaks. Highly recommend people check it out. I'd see it again! ... full review

I was over the moon impressed with this play that dealt with mental health and grief through the lens’s of women and sisters. The acting was incredible and the writing relatable and devastating. The directing was my favorite. I cried, I laughed and once it ended I wish I could watch another hour. Please see this show! ... full review

How I ADORE a dark, fast, serio-comedic look at mental health through a distinctly female lens! We've all got our issues, but let's get real, some of us have REALLY have some issues that lie under the surface that wreak havoc on our minds, lives, and those who are around us. This show offers such strong, high caliber writing, acting, and staging and I genuinely applaud all involved! I have no doubt you'll leave Obsessed a little grateful, a little sad, a little happy, and bit in awe of this three-handed powerhouse!... full review
