My overall impression

OMFG! I loved the play!! It was brilliant, stunningly inventive, and moving. I told my wife as we were leaving the play — without really knowing in detail what I meant — “I think this is the future of theater”. Playwright Veronica Tijoe’s theatrical voice-vison and her expressive palette are sooo unique!!

I was moved to tears (my highest compliment in a play) when Juniper’s boyfriend compared her to the city of Berlin. To understand, see the play. And Dog’s last words were perfectly loving, as only a dog’s (or perhaps a saint’s) could be.

The actors, the staging and the directing were all great. The pace was brisk and “taxing”, in exactly the way I want to be taxed in theatre. I can’t wait to see Veronica Tijoe’s next play!!
