Review by MICHAEL SHAW FISHER

My overall impression

For personal reasons I found the story difficult to watch at times but there is NO questioning the level of quality put into this production. The performers devote themselves 100% to the story and this is not easy material to navigate. The invalid older man is “dying” (or so he says) and it seems everything he touches is marked to whither alongside him. He’s a vacume of a former star who does not know how to handle the humiliation of old age nor how to claim his nature again. The last image the director Matt Soson leaves you with will hopefully open you to the possibilities of the stage and make you appreciate the gift of the fringe where such innovations can pop up out of nowhere and inspire the hell out of you.
