What I liked

The overall format works for me, projecting the story title and performer name, with the performer rising to tell the story. The order of the stories was well selected to keep the viewer interested and engaged. People telling their true stories can be very compelling, and some of them were.

What I didn't like

Sadly, the technology had streaming issues and the camera used had poor quality, making the image less than crystal clear. This is a Fringe issue, rather than the show itself. The stories might have been brought to life more if the performers lived them more fully, rather than narrating them.

My overall impression

A variety of material presented as theatrical storytelling.
