What I liked
Wow, this show is such a breath of fresh air. Intellectually stimulating but self-aware (or self-CONSCIOUS) enough not to be pretentious, humorous while subtly melancholic about the difficulties of genuine human-to-human communication, “Convenience” is a true work of art that demands multiple viewings to fully take in its multilayered meanings. Janya is both a witty writer and a profoundly entertaining performer, and the way she wryly engages with the audience makes for a wonderfully enjoyable evening at the theatre.
What I didn't like
What’s the cliched thing people say when they don’t have anything negative to report…COULD BE LONGER! Well, I hate cliches, so I won’t say that. Nah, I’ll say it anyway, because I would have loved to sit through another hour of Janya’s poignant, frequently hilarious explorations of human communication and the dangerous CONVENIENCE of people painting everything in much simpler colors than they actually are.
My overall impression
Immersive, intellectually stimulating experience worth multiple viewings
