Exhilirating! TL drives this show at a breakneck speed, maneuvering with a controlled chaos that is gripping, to say the least. She opens up the window of her soul, letting us see her dual struggle in finding her stance on the deaf/hearing spectrum as well as battles with love addiction, and we're all the better for it. Never devoid of meaning of emotion, she leads us through the tunnels of her pain into the light of her revelations. Must see!... full review
