What I liked

I thoroughly enjoyed the piece, particularly the fluidity of the solo performer. The cliche of the one-man fringe show may have folks leery to take a chance, but the reality is that this one delivers across the board. The characters were fun, surprisingly fleshed out given the tight timeline, and the story was compelling. There were many little touches that I don’t want to spoil that elevated things again and again.

What I didn't like

Maybe turn down the on-stage amp a little. I was always able to hear the line delivery, but in some cases just barely. It’s a very fine line, I know, but I’d prefer to err on the side a little more quiet.

My overall impression

A delightful and well-executed piece. Tightly packed into it’s 50 minutes. Skilled performance, and engaging material. I needed to know what happened to the various threads that were touched on over the course of the play.
