What I liked

The Fringe has really outdone themselves this year with so many great shows to choose from… or maybe I’ve just been lucky… Either way, this one woman show is in my mind one of the best of the entire fringe. The Actress is so totally into her characters that she disappears completely and what we witness is a slice of life drama that perfectly captures a woman whose overpowering personality was stifling in its intensity…yet beneath it all, such pain that we also feel fortunate to get to know her.

What I didn't like

Absolutely nothing was off on this production… simple, unobtrusive staging and direction that was so subtle, the director disappeared which is a great compliment to the director.

My overall impression

GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!! IT’S A DUMB TITLE, BUT MAKES ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD ONCE YOU SEE THIS PERFECTLY PERFORMED PIECE OF REAL THEATRE.
