What I liked

Actress Kathryn Taylor-Smith’s performance is masterful—at times funny, at times touching. All times worth watching.

What I didn't like

I thought the show was great, especially considering how the Fringe Festival is set up (one show after the other on the same stages every night, which means there is very little time to set up stage and take it down after each show). I’d love to see this show produced in a way that allowed for more time spent on stage design, lighting, etc.

My overall impression

This one person show kept me interested the whole time. Actress Kathryn Taylor-Smith brought to life back stories of those experiencing homelessness, a subject that is greatly affecting our society. Hopefully after seeing this show one has more empathy towards those living on our streets, instead of annoyance at how your neighborhoods are being affected. The humanity behind the masses is spotlighted. I think we could all use a more empathetic view. The timing is spot on for this show and it’s well worth seeing.
