Review by JONATHAN TIPTON MEYERS

What I liked

It starts off simply with playful banter, poetry and distanced observation. I think I’m going to get artifice from a young writer and then it starts getting deeper, more vulnerable, layered and honest beyond its years. It tricked me. The acting is solid. The inspired direction takes all those awkward black box, scene change blackouts and turns them into fully lit, fluid stages of character development. The writing is ambitious and assured. The first millennial piece I’ve seen that isn’t just skin deep.

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Go see this show, if you can get in. The acting and direction are legit. The writing, so generous and human. It snuck in through the cracks and found its way into my heart. I keep thinking about it.
