What I liked
The conceit is quickly set and held to with deliberation, and that unease, always just simmering beneath the surface, slowly grows as does our concern. Jen DeRosa and Jules Bruff’s performances perfectly compliment these pangs of impending dread, or at least doubt, with charm and eventually, an honest admission that we likely haven’t been told the whole story here. Francis’ story takes its place among those that have come before, maybe a call to the human mind to consider the possibility of new thought. Truly new thought, despite how frightening it may seem at first.

My overall impression
Inventive, heartbreaking, funny, poignant, Aaron Francis’ script keeps us in intriguing anticipation the whole way though, and Jen DeRosa and Jules Bruff carry the load, spinning yarns towards oblivion; even if there is perhaps a solution that hasn’t occurred to them yet. Betsy and Patty Find Out is a choice thought-experiment of a story that challenges our own views about ourselves and of that within society that is taken for granted in many ways as being reality. What do we really know about the road ahead? What do we really know of the past? Do we even know how to ask the right questions?
