Review by BILL PRUDICH

What I liked

I was taken with the performances, Milo Hacker and Audrey Adams, each brought a natural ease and connection to their roles. Their dynamic gave the story a strong emotional center. I also appreciated the inventive staging, which made effective use of minimal elements, and the thoughtful use of music to support shifts in time and place. These choices added texture without overwhelming the piece.

What I didn't like

The ending felt complete, though I did find myself wanting a bit more insight into what followed. Given that the piece is part of a larger serial, however, that restraint feels intentional and understandable.

My overall impression

I really enjoyed the piece overall. It felt fresh and engaging without trying too hard, and I was drawn in by its originality and clarity. The story unfolded in a way that was easy to follow but still emotionally meaningful, and it left me with a genuine sense of connection to the world onstage. It was a well-shaped production that knew what it was doing.
