What I liked

the pacing, the simple design choices, the exceptional acting.

What I didn't like

lightning design was a tad clunky

My overall impression

One of the best one-person shows I have ever seen. An remarkably sharp and surreal text is performed to hilarious, disturbing, and gripping perfection by Kristina Mueller, a major new talent on the Fringe scene.

An absurdist, almost Lynchian take on the woman behind the disgusting failure that is our current president. Comments on our modern conundrum without being political and holds a distorted but revealing mirror up to the us all. Above all, it succeeds at being an extremely unique and entertaining piece of theatre, that continues to take unexpected turns from it’s simple amusing opening to it’s devastating conclusion.

CANNOT RECOMMEND STRONGLY ENOUGH.
