What I liked

To add to what I’ve already said, and to be technical, I loved the lighting at the end.

What I didn't like

It all worked for me.

My overall impression

I love how the show draws attention to the fact that women do not disappear after the age of 30. I see this show as a “coming of age” of sorts – which I hesitate to say because we associate that term with coming out of childhood and into adulthood. However, as human beings, we don’t – we shouldn’t – ever stop evolving and learning and growing. I saw the show as a woman who “comes of age” and into her own by having to face the realities of one chapter of her life and how it all fits into who she is becoming in the next chapter. She wrestles with, and asks herself, “what now?” only to realize that the answer, perhaps, comes a little too late. This show asks what does it mean to live, to exist, and to be wanted as a woman when the world around seems to not care. And all of this under the backdrop of murder which makes it very clever. The show is humorous and touching, as well as well produced, directed, and acted. Highly recommend!
