With My Eyes Shut

I loved the fact that the play brought autism to the forefront. The story was natural while the actors gave detailed performances. Yet it wasn’t about them being autistic but human. Esther has a wonderful stage presence. I look forward to seeing what she does next.... full review

Very clever. A show that can be watched and appreciated by all ages. Walked away learning a lot. The actors fully committed to their roles forcing the audience to examine ourselves in the process... full review

I went in with no expectations and absolutely no experience with anyone with Asperger’s. It was definitely an eye-opener for me. My overwhelming thought was that everyone needs to see this play, if for no other reason, just to become more compassionate. ... full review

The show sucks you into the minds of two people with aspergers and conveys what it would be like to feel like the world is watching you and using you as entertainment. ... full review

This was one of my favorite shows I've ever seen at Fringe over the past few years! The show was touching, funny, exciting, and told through a unique set up.... full review

What a charming show! As odd as the show's premise sound, an element that solidifies the dynamic of the show comes of a stagehand who interacts with the audience during the play. Mixing these three characters together, the writer was able to add levity to the young couple's struggle with Asperger's. Along with Esther Mira's beautifully rendered dance and Craig Shields's music performed in xylophone and hand drum, the play elevates itself into a truly meaningful and unique product.... full review

Terrific show! Lovely performances, deftly directed, very moving. Fun and moving. Highly recommended!... full review
