My overall impression
Amazing, thought provoking, powerful and touching, Solo is a 30 minute show that I could’ve watched a whole series to, and beyond! The writing was sensational by Scottie Jeanette Madden, with messages that are so necessary for today’s discussion about LGBT rights and truths. I loved the ferocity and liveliness of the main character Jane Weigh, wonderfully portrayed by Juliana Joel, and how she stood consistently in her heart and mission. When ‘some dude named Roger’ comes into play, portrayed by the fantastic Anthony Notarile, the audience is consistently rooting for Jane. A captivating watch throughout. I wanted so much more after the 30 minutes concluded with Solo. I’m so excited to see if this piece is built into something so much bigger, like filming/making a miniseries out of it, because I can easily see a continuation of these well crafted characters and storyline!
