What I liked

I liked the complete honesty of this show. Nilsa is an excellent natural storyteller who easily slips into the voices and mannerisms of characters in her story.

What I didn't like

This is Nilsa’s first stage production since she had the strokes, and her return is a triumph. I hope to see more from her as she returns to acting and storytelling.

My overall impression

Nilsa recounts having a series of strokes at a young age, with honesty, pain, and sometimes humor. Aside from the physical trials of the strokes, the tests, the treatments, and the rehabilitation, she talks about what this means for her dating life, her relationship, and family planning future.
