What I liked

The transition they make from hysterically funny into deeply poignant is utterly masterful. You don’t know the change is coming. They effortlessly lead you to it, and then tacitly teach you to trust them once you’re there. It’s a genius switch, and handled with profound care. The change in the room was palpable.

What I didn't like

The only thing I would change would be to hold that last moment longer and let the phone ring over the blackout for a bit, but really, the show is pretty perfect as is.

My overall impression

I absolutely loved it. Gemma and Amrita were masterful onstage, seamlessly weaving between structure and improvisation and absurdity and heartbreak. The show was both broad and profoundly nuanced at once. I would like to see it multiple times to see how the work changes each night depending on the audience interaction and contribution.
