What I liked

Mara’s performance had honesty, strength and wit. I especially loved the back and forth between the two main characters/versions of her and the physicality as the story moved forward. I related on a deep level. Mara brings to the surface what goes on in the brain of someone with addiction and I can really see this helping the loved ones of addicts who might have a hard time grasping what goes on internally for those of us who struggle with substances and/or food.

What I didn't like

I would love to see this continue to be developed for further productions and hopefully reach even more people.

My overall impression

This show was raw and real. The way addiction was portrayed was spot on and depicted in a very truthful way that I hadn’t seen before.
