What I liked
These characters are amazing, startling and yet totally logical the more they come into focus. I genuinely felt I was inside a dream about the psychic landscapes of this family who have come together and in the process un-masked themselves—to themselves as well as each other. More, in the end I forgave them all, felt affection for them all, had nothing but hope for them all.
Plus the whole meta thing about a play about people’s reactions to a one woman show at the Fringe, done as a full length play at teh Fringe…!
What I didn't like
Honestly, the title didn’t work for me. I have strong views about titles, believing the best plays in live theatre tend to have compelling titles that seem to ask a question. This sounded generic without any hint of the wonders to come.
My overall impression
Dazzling! A fever dream about humanity, warts and scars and all, centered around an intervention that veers off into a roller coaster of truth and revelations, lit up by dark humor and hard won levels of wisdom, especially kindness (amid very bad habits of various flavors).
