What I liked

The cast was incredibly effective at immediately setting the mood. The scene was nicely interactive, intense and moving. This piece is made by the intense, passionate performances of the three characters you encounter. This is outstanding work.

Each audience member enters this world alone. It becomes quickly apparent how you can affect the characters and alter the events unfolding. It is a simple, elegant structure that provided, for me, a completely enchanting, sad and (oddly enough) playful world to move through.

What I didn't like

The only thing I can say is that I would like the show to be longer… I was having so much fun I hated to see it end.

My overall impression

This is a highly immersive, highly interactive short piece centering on loss and grief and the search for hope while dealing with both. Aaaaannnndd… that’s about all I can say without spoiling everything. The piece is very short, running only 15 to 20 minutes.

I found this fascinating and a clever use of the audience. Totally engaging and a blast to go through.
