The best solo show I caught so far.... full review

This is one of the best shows I've seen in the Fringe. Excellent writing, excellent performance. I loved it. It reminded me of The Fever by Wallace Shawn - that's how both literary and theatrical the text is. Deftly examining the bizarre dichotomies of modern life such as loneliness in a crowded city, alienation within the forced intimacy of small living spaces and yearning to connect while desperately seeking solitude. I want to see it again. ... full review

Delightfully dark and original. She nails the "reasonable psycho" persona. Very entertaining.... full review

It's rather like, 'Damn, I missed the bus.' It's prefaced as a work in progress at top of show by the Performer. This undercuts the work, as previously mentioned elsewhere. House Manager or someone else could do this instead, if necessary. With such an outrageous setting for a piece, I want everything to encourage the suspension of my disbelief. ... full review
