My overall impression

Man, this was weird. like WEIRD weird, but in a good way. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I still think it’s worth rolling the dice and checking it out. Even though I started off unsure of whether I was going to like the piece, I spent the entire show engaged, waiting to see what was going to happen next.

If you’re familiar with the computer game series Fallout, this is exactly the sort of story you’d expect to come across while playing. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, prepare yourself for some crazy.

Joanna Rose Bateman did an excellent job as the lead character, and Bruce Lemor Jr. and Bethany Esfandiari were both quite good as well. And both the lighting and sound did a great job of furthering the mood created by the script and characters.
