What I liked

Emily Clark brilliantly expresses (or manipulates?) our own suspicions and confusions. Lucas Alifano delivers the writers’ misdirections with perfectly tuned controlled chaos. The ever-reliable Jeff Scot Carey is solidly cast as the audience’s welcome reality-check in this web of potentially suspicious goings-on.

What I didn't like

More fringe shows should be as smart as this one.

My overall impression

Unknown Artists and Pam Eberhardt always bring it, and this did not disappoint. Great performances all around, including the unseen voices on the phone calls that go far in setting up the cozy crisis call center as a place of relative safety in contrast to the rainy, dangerous night outside. Pam and co-writer co-director Dan Testa masterfully keep you guessing about what’s going on out there… and in here… or is that a red herring?
