What I liked

Cooper’s characters came to life for me with faces, textures, and emotion. My emotions were completely stirred. I left contemplative, eagerly waiting for more. I’m told there’s more to come, and I’ll be there.

What I didn't like

I liked the cleanliness of the story-scene transitions, but the timeworn drum beat spurt pulled me out of the moment.

My overall impression

I was in a fantasy dream state within the first minute of this one-man-show. I felt present among the scenery Cooper was describing. He swaps between multiple characters seamlessly and convincingly.
