Review by JOHN KLENK

What I liked

The writing is tight: pretty much every syllable serves a narrative purpose. It will go from light-hearted farce one minute; to a tense psychodrama the next, and always feel like the same story is being told from the same deeply personal perspective. Murphy really puts it all out there as an actor. He has a vulnerability that carries him through the show’s darkest moments. The staging was dynamic and used the sparse set and props to their fullest advantage.

What I didn't like

My overall impression

A brutally honest and often funny exploration of the roles we try on- be it on stage, in bed, or in our day-to-day lives. You will laugh, cry , and cringe along with Cameron Murphy as he details his sexual, and emotional coming-of-age.
