What I liked

There were so many things I loved about this play. My over-arching love for this play came from it’s incredibly unique and specific characters, I loved all 5 of them, and they all felt like character types I’ve never seen before on the stage, which is so hard to achieve. Despite the story being rather dark (in a great way), there was such a sense of charisma and vitality to the play, it had that child-like sense of wonder while still dealing with adult subject matter. The ending was sooooooo powerful for me, it really hit me emotionally.

What I didn't like

No complaints, I would love to see this as a 2 hour play, it would be great to see an additional hours worth of content of these incredible characters.

My overall impression

This is one of the best shows I’ve seen so far at the Fringe, everything about it is so original and interesting. This play was able to implore so much of what’s great about experimental/intimate theatre and put it into one piece and then put it’s own effervescent charm on top of it all. There were many moments in that play that made me feel really emotional and caring so deeply about the characters, I wanted them all to succeed so badly, which to me is a testament of how good the play does of allowing you to get to know the characters and empathize with them. I highly recommend this play.
