What I liked
How personal the show felt. Loved Barbera’s performance of a conservative housewife slowly opening up to another’s perspective. Enjoyed the lighting design during Marlene’s personal reflections. Also liked the pre-show ‘train station’ and the overall metaphor of the train journey of the show.
What I didn't like
Marlene’s soft delivery with a German accent made lines occasionally difficult to hear and I wanted to hear all of her beautiful words!
My overall impression
Poignant, relevant, and powerful exploration of the trans experience today and how it mirrors 1930s Germany. The themes of identity, freedom and empathy strongly resonate in today’s political environment fraught with prejudice and discrimination.
