What I liked

The acting was superb, the nature of the blocking was really interesting and the more I thought about it the more I liked what they did with it. Definitely well written.

What I didn't like

There are two ideas going on here, one about our (nonhomeless society’s) idea of what homeless people are and one of social media being extremely exploitive. I think a longer play could have tackled both these topics with mastery. It’s a little too quick to wrap up.

My overall impression

A fun light show about homelessness and the exploitive nature of social media. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant. This show hits a lot of good notes.
