What I liked

The writing is high stakes and tight. The story gets going immediately and there is no “fat” on this show at all, it’s concise. The set design was immersive, well-constructed, and so clean. Wylie Anderson’s direction was clear and quick. I loved the expanded use of the trunks and the imaginative use of water. Christopher Cassarino is PERFECTLY unlikable as Joseph, the douchey, oblivious agent. Grace Guy gives a transformative performance that I will be thinking about for a long time. She really takes you through every detail of Fiona’s emotional journey. Both performers had me laughing and locked in.

What I didn't like

I wish there was more!

My overall impression

A well-written and well-performed comedy about power dynamics, confronting your reality, and how much work sucks. I was hooked from the first moment and enjoyed every moment.
