What I liked

Learning about the unedited journal of Anne Frank, and how that information was conveyed through VO and projection. Tying the past to the present.

What I didn't like

It’s great

My overall impression

If you’re reading this: GO SEE THIS SHOW. It’s the best of a fringe all in one: a wondrous and fast-paced one woman show that moves effortlessly between hilarity and deep sadness. There’s some Fleabag self-deprecation humour mixed with Hannah Gadsby’s socially conscious lens. Just as it’s not solely about Rachel, it’s not solely about Anne – the piece forces us to question our roots, our humanity, our identity, and what the hell we can do to make our world better.
