What I liked
Extremely strong script. Smart direction and staging that avoids the “unending monologue delivered directly to the audience” trap that many one-person shows fall into. Frequently very, very funny. Tight length. Clever, character-driven preshow business. Exceptional performance from Veronica Rosas. Also a great voiceover performance by whoever played the main character’s daughter.
What I didn't like
Not much to say here. This work is in great shape.
My overall impression
Raw, unapologetically bleak, and laugh-out-loud funny. The show has as many contradictions as its central character, performed with startling ferocity and vulnerability by Veronica Rosas, but that’s not a bug – it’s a feature. The script is razor-sharp and effectively grapples with aging, inadequacy, and the maddening desire to be wanted by men in a patriarchal system built to inevitably reject you.
