Start Swimming

What I liked

The simplicity of the set. The unity of the cast- they really seemed to come from the same world.

What I didn't like

It would have been nice to see some lighter moments as a way to recover from the intensity of the piece. To be welcomed and familiarized into the world where the show exists rather than feeling as outsiders would have helped us resonate with the characters’ struggles. (This had most to do with the writing)

My overall impression

The show moved quickly and was intellectually provoking. It’s clear that the director designed the show in a way that could be interpreted in a variety of ways, leaving the audience to come to their own conclusions. The acting was raw and true to the circumstances in which the characters found themselves.
