What I liked
I went into this show completely blind, no idea it was about grief, and was immediately made aware by the way it crept into the story in such a satisfying way. (I also saw this on Father’s day which was crazy timing for me) I felt very seen by Bean’s frustration at knowing seemingly everything about her former life in this corporate soulless job, but somehow not knowing how to say what she needs to say about her grief.
The ending was so cathartic and earned. There was a line that was something like “Last words are hard, but you nailed it” that has been sticking in my head since watching this show. I tear up even as I remember it, probably incorrectly.

My overall impression
A really special one woman show that subtly reveals itself to you over time. It is weird and quirky in all the best ways. It is also clearly a deeply personal show to this writer/performer, but you are still able to take away your own meaning from it. Just honest enough to be relatable and vulnerable, just vague enough to keep some things beautifully and expertly hidden within the art. I really, really loved it.
