What I liked

I loved the use of the projection for the set-dressing. It worked so well and was really well done. I also thought Tatum, who plays Jane, was fantastic!

What I didn't like

As with most live theater there seemed to be a few rough moments with lines, but everyone recovered well and kept going. So maybe just a little polish on that.

My overall impression

I read the original Yellow Wallpaper in High School and again just a few years ago one day when bored at work. It is a fascinating and terrifying story…Denise Barrett does an amazing job adapting this to a one-act. The story builds into insanity and the lead actress is phenomenal as Jane. This play uses screen projection in a brilliant way. I seriously had goosebumps as the story progressed! I highly recommend this play to anyone checking out the Fringe shows.
