Sack of Nerves

What I liked

The play is exceedingly personal. Phillips peels back the layers to reveal himself warts and all. His voice is timely, often dealing with zeitgeist approaches to relationships and self help/diagnosis culture while more pervasive timeless philosophies quietly reveal themselves.

What I didn't like

Sack of Nerves could be refined with the inclusion of more deliberate blocking.

My overall impression

Sack of Nerves is a raw, relevant, and resonant new work from Andrew Phillips. The hour long show blows right by. It’s often blisteringly funny all while maintaining a steady hum of emotional heft that finds its natural moments to swell for maximum impact.
