What I liked

KT Vogt is a revelation! Every gesture and mannerism was embodied to the core. Audrey had me on the edge of my seat – I wasn’t sure what she’d do next. Together, there was electricity flying between the two, each line a new crackle as they suss out each other’s motivations. I also loved the layers of a mother-daughter duo bringing this piece to life, adding more dimensions than were already present.

I wanted more!

My overall impression

Who needs genres or tones when you’ve got Roost?! From the opening moment, I was riveted. The character work was on point. KT and Audrey made the text sing. And their chemistry was simply magnetic, synchronized from start to finish. You don’t quite know where the play is going and then you really get thrown for a loop as the world unfolds on itself. It’s quite a feat of skilled penmanship. But I keep coming back to the acting – the acting was spectacular. I could watch these two all day. A fantastic night of theater.
