Transference

Do we run into the same people, or same souls, or maybe same souls but different people- as we are reincarnated time and time again? Are those I’ve only met for the first time, but feel like I’ve known forever, really from a past life of mine? This show has got me thinking (and trippin) which is what a good show will do. ... full review

I do love a dose of the paranormal or mystical or science fiction to throw life into sharp relief. Transference by Jim Blanchette proves to be exactly that. A teacher named Jessica (Lisa K. Watt) attends a therapy session, this time trying to use hypnosis to cure her smoking. Her therapist Dr. Herbert (Esther Mira) tries to reassure her, calming the nervous woman down. Eventually she does hypnotize her and BOOM! Jessica remembers all her past lives. All of them. And in every single one, she and Dr. Herbert loved each other deeply. But they also ended up murdered. ... full review

Really enjoyed the show: the performances were strong and the script was great.... full review

Lisa is absolutely perfect for this role. She’s clever, quick, and has this subtle cheekiness that fits right in to this piece. I loved the set design and how the bright reds contrasted with the black box. It was very modern-looking and not like it was put together in 15 minutes (the usual load-in time for fringe shows). I felt like I was actually in the room with them, like we were flies on the wall. I like that. ... full review

A lovely two actor show... full review

I think the intentions were good. I think the idea was great but just wasn't executed well. The acting felt stiff. Very 'Two women in an acting class' trying to... act. The chemistry was awkward and so were the jokes... full review
