What I liked

The performances were truly outstanding. The scenes moved seamlessly from one to the next, and I love that each scene left the mess it had made on the ground for the next scene. By the end of the play, you could both physically see and metaphorically understand that our actions don’t happen in isolation; we influence one another. This simple idea beautifully highlights just how connected our lives truly are and how we are left to deal with the fallout of what has come before us. Rachael Meyers masterfully directed this ensemble.

What I didn't like

No notes! The piece hits all the right notes!

My overall impression

What Survives is a superbly written, acted, and directed thought-provoking drama that leaves a lasting impression long after the show is over.
