What I liked

wonderful use of body movement, facial expressions, accents and simple yet inventive use of a few boxes and a door, brought to life a tough old woman teacher, cowboys, his younger selves, friends around him, and the list goes on . it was remarkable to me that I began to feel more unified with the voices of these other characters than his own voice !

What I didn't like

nothing comes to mind

My overall impression

wow, cooper puts it on the line in this high energy and touching, riveting and thought provoking one man show
