Great Acting
Super well executed, great acting, hooked me the whole time! I don’t want to give things away but I thought they made really clever use of lighting and costumes. It was really well staged, and it was a really fun and unique adaptation. ...

The entire cast exudes energy, whimsy, and talent.
The puppetry was visually mesmerizing.
What a triumph!...

As well as the commitment to costume design, use of minimalist chairs and ladder to elevate the blocking and high end puppet work. However, though I tried to like it I just didn’t engage with it. ...
