What I liked

Several days after seeing it, I’m still affected by the show. It deals, in part, with how people each metabolize trauma and abuse years down the line (for lack of a better phrase). It felt true to life to me, dark, unrelenting, and at its core, very relatable. Powerful in the way it revealed, bit by bit, how undetectably broken humans can be.

What I didn't like

I appreciate it how hard everyone worked on this show, from the script, to the performances, direction and overall design. The dedication was evident, start to finish.

My overall impression

What a beautiful, thought-provoking piece of theatre! As others have mentioned, this might be one of the darkest pieces of theatre that you’ll see at Fringe. If you are up for that, absolutely go to see this one. It really is on a mission to tell its story, and it does not stray from that, no matter how dark it gets.
