The cast overall was so strong, and Arianna Williams as well as Ryan Jaske’s performances were particularly stand-out. The audience was audibly affected by their chemistry as well as Ximena’s pain and heartbreak as she sought reconciliation with her former friends. The full cast of friends (Daniela Azuaje, Jocelyn Marie, Rocio Ibarra, and Carlie Meyers) all did so well balancing the nuance of their characters’ POV’s as they reacted to Ximena’s attempts at renewed friendship. It can be easy to fall into a trap of creating one-dimensional side characters for the main protagonist to project her feelings onto, and this experienced cast and well-written play avoided that pitfall entirely. On a personal note, it would be great for more men to watch this show to get an idea of what a realistically supportive partner could look like.
Lastly, I loved the use of projections as a simple yet effective way to add fullness to the set design.
What I didn't like
Music during the transitions would greatly help with overall flow, however I was there during previews so this may already be planned anyway!
My overall impression
A simultaneous look at the complexity of female friendships and their break-ups, as well as hope in what healthy partnerships and friendships might look like, through a script that could also become a wonderful screenplay is the playwright wishes!
