What I liked

You might glance at this show and think, oh, a fringe show about grief. There’s thousands of these every fringe, how should I know this one is worth seeing? Well, I’m here to tell you it is. From her first moment on stage, before the clearly stated begining of the show, Andrea wins the heart of the audience and takes them on a strange, hilarious, and emotional journey. The dancing is of course as beautiful as you hoped, but her flails and tremors are what truely impressed me: it takes real talent to fall with grace. The show is a beautiful, intentional mess, every crumb placed with purpose and amazing technique. She’s funny, she’s talented, and she’s made a fantastic show. You’d regret missing it.

What I didn't like

Not enough shows. I have dear friends who are cancer survivors who would love to see it. Any chance of seeing this at future fringe festivals?

My overall impression

If you’re skimming reviews, wondering if you should catch the last show of this: you should. Buy a ticket right now. This is something special.
