What I liked

Simple but effective staging and use of the space as well as the different personae bring forth diverse and intimate aspects of the experience. How does one rise up from the ashes? The healing path may be different for each of us but the obstacles remain familiar.

What I didn't like

Always leave them wanting more. Well, I wanted more.

My overall impression

Unlike other shows I have seen on the topic, this one was searingly truthful and without clichés, but with observed moments that even those not in the Club would recognize as utterly genuine. Those unexpected details drive the show with a vibrant performance breathing life and urgency to the human need to not simply survive but to regenerate.
