My overall impression
I loved loved LOVED this show! I meant to write a review right when I got home from the show on June 27th, but it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. As I think about what to write, I’m struck about how in my memory it feels like I watched a fully produced play with a cast of about 15 characters (albeit characters that all looked like Heather Dowling), In reality, it was a basic black box theatre featuring a one-woman show.
This just goes to show how good this show was and how talented its writer/performer is. Without giving anything away, she owns this stage for an hour and portrays several very distinct characters from her life. I particularly enjoyed when these characters interact not only with Heather — but also with other characterizations from the show. I can;t remember ever seeing a three-person conversation in a one-person show.
The story itself (which really hits home for me as someone who’s lived a similar experience) is well-constructed, uplifting and entertaining. I can;t wait to see more from Heather. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us… finally!
