What I liked

One of the best shows I’ve seen at Fringe this year. Beautifully written, and executed. It has moments of laughter, which I expected, but a large amount of poignancy and emotion that I did not expect. I could heavily relate to certain aspects of all 3 characters. One, the awkwardness/insecurity, and the other two, glimpses of personal loss, that rang extremely true to similar experiences I had gone through, eerily real and true to my own journey through similar circumstances. The format is wonderful in giving us a peek behind each person, and how we can never really know what another stranger is going through, or why they may behave they way they do. I laughed, and also actually genuinely cried. I’m returning for a second viewing.
