What I liked
To see a story about gun violence through the eyes of a conservative character with the ultimate message being deeply humanistic is deeply impressive. It manages to be multi-faceted and centers basic human love, respect, and really sheds light on the DEEP DISTORTED cognitive dissonance that occurs within certain groups of people who choose to perpetuate certain “ideals”. What do people fight to uphold in the name of “freedom” and “rights” when it really just results in death and unimaginable pain. The lighting design the sound design the way the stage space was used. What a testament to both the actor and director in such a remarkable collaboration. A great example of you do not need much to put on an outstanding performance.
What I didn't like
it was genuinely so perfect
My overall impression
The show was absolutely incredible and heartbreakingly powerful. It is of the times, it is necessary viewing and it is so intelligently written. It evokes visceral emotions and really takes you on a deeply human journey. One of that reflects our political climate and is sinister, comedic, gut-wrenching, and humanizing. Please go watch this show if you can. Rosie knows how to direct a play and I’ve never seen something she’s done and not walked away with awe and a profound awe and gratitude for art. Hailee was mesmerizing in this play and I believe no one else could’ve done this role but her. What a gift to wtiness.
