What I liked

The relationship between Anne and Rachel, the insights into Anne’s sexual awakening, and how relaxed Rachel is on stage. The framework of a Shiva, as Rachel explained, being about release of raw feelings and emotions without the need for polished/eloquent grieving, supported the wide ranging conversational tone of the show.

What I didn't like

Not sure!

My overall impression

So funny, sweet and engaging. Like any good conversation with an old friend, the show weaves easily between hilarity and rage, silliness and tears.
