What I liked

The intimacy of the small stage and the closeness of the performer to the audience, added to the impact of the drama. The stage’s sparseness of props forces the audience to concentrate on the performer, adding to the impact and intimacy.

What I didn't like

Frankly, perhaps the downside of this show was its shortness, although what could be added is difficult for this reviewer to determine.
I like my stories to be concise and to-the-point. If you like yours this way too, this show will hit the spot.

My overall impression

A tour-de-force, albeit brief, exploration of what can drive one’s psyche, told within a loose framework of Science Fiction, but that’s only the impulse to launch into a story of how one man’s past influences his present, and possibly his future. Full of deep insights and humor, drama and whimsy.
And all done by one performer.
If you like your fiction done as a short story, concise, dense, but not overwhelming, then come on a wonderful trip !
