The minimal and intentional set perfectly serves the show. Every piece of writing, tech and set piece felt intentional and polished. I loved the tone of the ending: unresolved and unsettling, just like the premise of the show.
What I didn't like
No notes.
My overall impression
Brendan takes us on a journey downward in an attempt to find a salve for his sinking feeling. A very funny and raw show exploring self-help culture, mental illness, sobriety and complex family dynamics. The premise of the Abyss is so strong I felt completely entrenched in his world from the beginning. Expertly crafted writing & smart jokes. A truly unique and refreshing solo show!
