What I liked

I thought the writing, acting, and directing were great!

What I didn't like

I can’t think of anything!

My overall impression

Not That Illegal brings to the forefront the difficult choices that immigrants must make in order to stay in the United States. The play also presented issues of what truly constitutes a marriage. Does a marriage require love? Can two people with no physical attraction, but strong platonic love form a legitimate partnership? Writer/actor Yusuf Yildez brings his own personal experience, and comedic chops to present a hilarious and touching story.

The actors have also brought their A game to keep the audience engaged. My disbelief was thoroughly suspended.

This piece of live comedic theatre deserves a watch. You will leave with a smile on your face, and a new perspective in your mind.

10/10
