Review by BRETT MOORE

June 23, 2026 certified reviewer

What I liked

One of the most amazing things about this show is that between Pam Eberhardt’s writing and Emily Clark’s acting, the audience is put very firmly in the same spot as Hannah—mirroring both her emotions and thoughts throughout the show. I’ve never seen the whole audience so clearly in-step with a character at Fringe before. Just incredible.

What I didn't like

This show might actually benefit from being lengthened out to 90 minutes—it’s clear more ideas are ricocheting around the writer’s head for how to modulate the tension at the heart of this show, and even some dead space might turn the screws on the audience discomfort.

My overall impression

A spectacularly written and directed psychological thriller! The show slowly carves a very disturbing picture, brought to life with unreal (and unnerving) chemistry between the characters, particularly between Lucas Alifano and Emily Clark. As the show advances and the situation escalates, you’ll feel the squirming of the characters in your very soul!
