What I liked

This is a first-rate, well-developed show from having been delivered in other venues, and it’s top of the line for a Fringe presentation. I was glad it’s been an award-winner because that’s what got me there, given the overwhelm at selecting which Fringe shows to see. Dan Ruth’s performance is one of those workouts that leaves the audience awestruck that that level of intensity can be delivered over and over. In a performance that’s dramatic and explosive, he commands the stage in a way that seems like a full cast is in play as he flawlessly brings us characters with different accents and energetics.

What I didn't like

It’s pretty perfect as is.

My overall impression

A standing ovation is in order!
