What I liked
Strong acting from the cast, story is well done, loved the production design and the set, and the sound design was top notch. This show has high production values and a strong showing from everyone involved.
The third act was particularly interesting. I loved where the story went. It serves as a cautionary tale about progress. The actress who played the AI toilet was very funny.
What I didn't like
I would have liked the side entrance to be blacked out. Maybe a second curtain infront of the door. When the door opens it floods the room with sunlight.
My overall impression
A unique piece of theater with strong acting, set design, and tech. We follow Ashley Chu as she goes from a young girl to adulthood, and her constant battles with toilet etiquette. It is more than just toilet humor though, although there is quite a bit of that too. The show examines power dynamics in relationships, family humiliation, technological progress, and consideration for others. There is a nice theme of feeling like an outsider in another culture that I appreciated too.
