What I liked

Nicole Knudson’s script is by turns emotional, humorous, suspenseful, raw, and therapeutic. Josh Verges and Victoria Gluchowski have flawless and vibrant chemistry, and under Knudson’s direction, you completely forget you’re in a theater. I alternated between the edge of my seat and sunk deep into it in recognition and empathy. This is one of the top 5 Fringe shows I’ve ever seen.

What I didn't like

I can’t experience this over and over from home on loop. I need to be able to do that. I’m obsessed.

My overall impression

This show is a truly stellar look at what it means to be human, and to address both who we are… and who we were. The sci-fi setting is carefully designed and intricately planned to a degree that makes the show fiercely believable and immersive, the character depth is stunning and heart-breaking, and Joshua Verges and Victoria Gluchowski’s performances are positively magnetic and absorbing. Fringe is so short. Don’t just see this show—see it twice.
