What I liked

Both actors were incredible, and the minimalist staging set the tone of the story perfectly. I also loved when the yarn broke even though I don’t think it was part of the script, but seemed like a very happy accident.

What I didn't like

Nothing!

My overall impression

I loved all of the absurdist existentialism this play is dealing with! When the performance started with no talking for the first 5 minutes or so, I was almost ready for the entire show to be speechless, but I also loved hearing everything both characters had to say. It definitely reminded me of Beckett in all the best ways!
