What I liked

It wasn’t too long

What I didn't like

It sometimes felt like high school acting. Older actors should have been used, to give this more weight. A lot of the writing was a bit sophomoric and unsophisticated, as if for a high school show. I have to say most of the “reviewers” on here are trying to be supportive of a show that is very slight and honestly doesn’t have much going for it. For me, this was not outstanding but rather stood out as one of the weakest offerings at the Fringe. That it has gotten any attention at all speaks volumes about the value of hobnobbing, schmoozing, and kissing up. In that sense, the supportive reviews are about as fake as whitewashing in the movies. Someone should tell the emperor he has no clothes, but I doubt anyone has the courage.

My overall impression

Interesting concept. Hasn’t been done before. Intimate atmosphere. Believable relationship. Interesting ending without too much closure.
