What I liked
The staging and venue choice worked perfectly for this show. The audience was close to the actors so we could really feel the story come alive in front of us in an intimate setting. Like mentioned prior, the progression of the stage picture and the choice of colors really added to the storytelling. It really touched when it needed to and made me laugh when it needed to, taking care that the audience wasn’t sitting in any emotion for too long.
What I didn't like
There were a few moments of air and exposition/explanation that could be trimmed down but overall, the show was great.
My overall impression
It takes so much courage to tell a story so vulnerable, so first and foremost, kudos to the writer/director Jeannette Srinivasan and the cast for choosing to tell this story. Without giving any spoilers, the show was so aesthetically planned that it was clear what the vision was from start to finish, both in the language and in the stage picture. The story took us back through time into memories that were layered with grief and laughter, sadness and joy. It was a beautiful ode to life and death at the same time.
