What I liked

This performance by Veronica slayed me, with her manic energy, clothes and brushes and cookie dough flying everywhere.

What I didn't like

Nothing to add. Great writing, acting, and direction.

My overall impression

Victoria believes her neighbor, a man she is attracted to, has murdered multiple young women, and she asks: why not her? Is she too old? Not attractive enough? This show leads the audience on a downward spiral into depression and mania, as she tries to figure out what to wear, decides she needs to put on makeup, needs to bake some cookies. She rehearses the words she should she use to confront him. The audience watches Victoria suffer a mental breakdown in front of them.
