Review by HEIDI APPE

What I liked

I was impressed with what they were able to do using existing technology (our phones), on a fringe stage, with fringe time constraints. I loved the story, and the exploration of the concept of digital life extension.

What I didn't like

I did feel my phone overheating. And I also fought between wanting to watch through my phone and wanting to just watch the actors-which was itself insightful I would say. It felt perhaps the script could be cut down. Salient discussion is had, the poignancy would not be lost if you found ways to tighten the script.

My overall impression

Huzzah to the production company for bringing something so conceptually and technologically ambitious to Fringe!
