What I liked

Amazing , exemplary storytelling, a masterclass in range and behavior. The intimacy of the piece.

What I didn't like

Bigger theatre so more people can watch it

My overall impression

It can be hard nowadays to remember why people have for centuries loved the theatre, especially when we have so much endless entertainment right at our finger tips. 5:45 reminded me of how important this art form is. 5:45 and Abi’s performance captivate and steal you away from yourself. Immediately you recognize a firmly charming character and not simply an actress performing. At times it feels as if you’re watching the tightest standup everyone in the audience chuckles along, and then she drives a sledgehammer into your stomach and the room goes silent, you feel it… You feel as though she is talking right too you , like you’re the only one in the room, and the black box seems to vibrate and flow as she moves you through her story.
When the show comes to an end you can’t help but have your mouth agape, you come back to your seat and you feel this sense of awe that only a truly talented performer can give you.
A must watch…
