What I liked

This show perfectly captures the ups and downs, ins and outs of romantic partnering. The arguments and dialogue are exceptionally well-written, realistic, and believable to a ‘t’. The show brings to light some nuanced issues surrounding morality and makes you think about situations you might not otherwise.

The cast are all great actors who bring life and meaning to their characters, justifying some of the more poetic text and metaphors with grounded and believable behavior and clear perspectives on their world. Bravo!

What I didn't like

This piece could easily transfer to a bigger theatre. The behind-stage audience bathroom is particularly unfortunate (though not uncommon at Fringe) and the high demand for tickets in contrast to the relatively low capacity of the theatre is an unfortunate shame. Everyone should see this show!

My overall impression

Very thought-provoking, well-written and acted. Moments of humor, drama, romance, and suspense abound!
