What I liked

I liked how immersive the show is. Anna prefaces that the audience is a fragment of her imagination, even the stage manager and theater space is all imaginary which put me right in the midst of her fantastic voyage as she refuses to wake up from her anesthesia induced comma.

What I didn't like

It might have been that I fell asleep but it was hard to keep up with the many characters inside Anna’s dream world. Or maybe the many characters speaking inside my own brain?

My overall impression

Great performance by the lead actress and well written by Drew Petriello. I accidentally fell asleep for what seemed like a minute which triggered a dream of my own. That’s a compliment… I think
