What I liked

This theme of moving onto the next phase of life is something that is not often tackled, especially at festivals like this. The play is funny yet at times I wished I had brought a tissue because there was real heart and passion behind the theme. The subtle use of the back ground display and lighting took a possible dark subject matter and brought cool and peaceful colors, something you don’t really realize until the end of the performance.

What I didn't like

Nothing I can think of.

My overall impression

A show excellently done. The acting chops of Peter Massey were on full display.
The simple staging contrasted with the complex theme of aging.
