What I liked

The performances were both terrific, we are invited to follow the story being highly entertained, the jokes all land – esp. with a modern-media and theater- savvy audience (which I am really not, and I still laughed plenty), plus a few winks through the fourth wall. As the end approaches, the dots are connected and the hard truths of the subject exposed with skill. Very well-paced throughout, with some visual explanations written on a screen, where helpful — and funny.

What I didn't like

I was near the back and some of the sentences projected on the back wall screen were washed out just a little bit from my angle, under the general stage lighting. But this is really not a complaint, just an idea they might take a quick look at. You wouldn’t want to miss anything about the show.
Otherwise, perfect.

My overall impression

A topnotch Fringe show .. funny, smart, and finally properly disturbing. Totally recommend.
