Review by CYANNE MCCLAIRIAN

What I liked

Great twists. Clever true to life writing. Solid performances & connections between every single one of the actors. Perfect, simple set design for the festival & quick change overs. Just flawless.

As an actress/writer, this script was one of the smartest, well written scripts I’ve seen in years about this subject matter. And every single one of the actors were gripping, grounded & took me on an emotional rollercoaster from the moment the lights came up.

What I didn't like

Being that this is a festival, I thought it was odd that that was not mentioned. Not were the idea of reviews. I was honestly surprised to see so few here after such a mindblowingly incredible show!

People outside of the festival are not used to the idea of being able to contribute with a review & would most likely appreciate the opportunity to leave one. This show is most definitely more than deserving of not only more love, but it is also in my top 3 for Top of the Fringe.

My overall impression

F’kin kick ass & powerful!!
We saw the opening night show & quickly bought tickets to see it again at the end of the run. I rarely if ever do that, lol.

Like many, supporting a talented friend is what brought us here. For us, that was Ayla Barreau. And this role… WOW!
I have known her for over 10 years & was literally blown away. This was by far the best thing I have ever seen her in. She embodied her character so honestly that she took me to emotional places I never anticipated – from laughter to tears.

BRAVO to everyone involved. Can’t wait to see it again!!
