My overall impression
A few biases I had going in:
- personal relationship with performer
- predisposition to like theater performances
- supporter of the LGBT community
So I really enjoyed it for all those reasons.
HOWEVA!
I thought the play was really well-written and incredibly creative. I loved the speed-dating bit as a way of revealing the character and what she was going through.
The ending was also really really good. I loved the last scene we see before it all fades to black. Shyam did a great job playing that part – it very sincere and emotional.
The humor was well-done. I had a sincere laughs. My only criticism (hopefully it’s constructive!) is that a few of the impressions felt a bit too angular – the transition to the impressions were a tad too sharp and they seemed a bit too well defined and practiced. However, a few were done REALLY well. I liked the priest bit quite a lot.
Overall, the quality of the writing was high and the acting was really good. Shyam – ask me for more detailed thoughts in person. Hopefully this helps!
