What I liked

I saw the late night show totally exhausted and was literally on the edge of my seat. This is an excellent, fascinating concept. It could have been on the nose but instead feels emotionally subtle and conceptually well-crafted. Overall, it’s an extremely intentional piece with what could be (and is) ultimately disturbing content. Loved the visuals all around. The various weapons and the beaming light & sound cues to accompany the emotional fragility of each character is really spectacular. The characters were just SO strong and specific. Really feels like college in the most f***** up way. It’s a totally impactful piece of art.

What I didn't like

I guess weight could be added to the larger weapons so they’re a little less wobbly. And if that’s the note I’m leaving, then you can tell it’s a pretty freakin awesome show.

My overall impression

Totally gutting, gripping story with a fresh premise. So unique with some really beautiful moments. It’s stunning through and through – the writing, performance – all of it.
