What I liked
Creative writing, interesting structure, plenty of laughs, and unconventional storytelling. I dig it. Also, yogurt cups.
What I didn't like
I felt like my soul was being exposed during the moments that spoke about the challenges and self-dount when writing a play…. Not sure I’m okay with that.
My overall impression
A cheery, overly positive in-home nurse takes on more than she can handle when meeting her new client: a foul-mouthed, demanding and manipulative patient with a bad knee.
As the play, and their relationship, take twisted dark turns, the story intentionally starts to spiral in on itself, turning into a meta character study that delightfully examines the tropes and conventional devices used by the great dark, comedic playwrights of our time.
Vibrant writing that wears its heart on its sleeve without turning sentimental. Bold creative choices with the script and a fierce performance from Vogt make this play an absolute delight.
