My overall impression

Alix Angelis does what we always ache for theater to do (and which it rarely in fact does) she creates a world, inhabits it and brings us into it with her. She takes us on a journey of discovery with a few simple props and her talent. That talent is on display from start to finish, in the expressive way she utilizes her body, picks up a cup, talks on a phone. Her choices are sure and correct (also a tribute to the direction of Vincent Cardinale) and whenever you’re watching a one person show, you face the question of, how will this person present the ‘other’ characters in this piece? Splendidly, that’s how. Clearly delineated and realized, they all inhabit the space with her. Her acting is deep and resonant, taking me inside these people’s lives. You should see this show.
