What I liked

the way it was set up, the different persona’s, that there was only one actor, the intimacy of the venue, the acting, the storyline,….everything about it!

What I didn't like

Honestly- Ive thought about this for about 10 minutes and there is nothing that comes to mind.
Tissues. There could have been tissues- there:-)

My overall impression

This was a wonderfully moving and profoundly courageous show that will linger for a long time after. I was so moved by Marianne’ deeply human and intimate portrayal of the different aspects of grief; of the messiness, the absurdity (and hidden humour), the unpredictability, the loneliness- reminding us how so much of it remains unspoken in our society. I cried and belly-laughed and left deeply moved.
