What I liked

I loved the creativity behind re-enacting each situation that happened during the therapy sessions. It made you have empathy for both sides of the coin. The scene with the mom and daughter was one that so many could relate to which made it a very emotional scene along with the suicide scene where both characters were able to encourage eachother to keep going despite their personal struggles. Each actor had a natural flow and chemistry which helped me stay fully engaged the whole time. The music was great and also aided transitions between scenes without awkward silence.

What I didn't like

I would’ve loved to see more props and creative backdrops! Although, this is FrogCake’s first production at Fringe this was a spectacular show in so many ways and with lack of visually appealing backgrounds that is very telling of how beautiful the show was and the moral behind the story. Less was more in this show. I really have no notes! The writing, directing, and acting were genuinely incredible. I was blown away

My overall impression

The show was amazing and raw. Real-life situations and struggles that are thought-provoking and deep but also with a touch of humor. It brought tears to mine any many other audience members eyes! Amazing job to everyone involved and the writer.
