My overall impression

Ben’s energy as he begins his play is palpable, unpredictable and almost alarming (in the best way possible!) It was no secret that this character has something to work out and we were going to witness it as he did. Ben flows seamlessly from character to character with such ease that I could see scenes of multiple people unfolding before my eyes. The best part about this show, however, was the fact that all along I thought I was ahead of this character, I thought I knew what to expect, but instead, I didn’t, and I was able to experience the rare joy of a theatrical surprise. Go see this show!
