What I liked
I loved how Sigute interspersed conversations with her deceased brother and the recitation of his poetry to tie together their mutual addiction mixed with his perception of the world (both beautiful and ugly) and their family.
What I didn't like
I would have loved the show to be about 1/2 hour longer by expanding some of the incidents that shaped her life. For example, how did her co-workers respond to her arriving at work the day after her near-fatal car accident? The stories were all so engrossing, I wanted to hear more about each of them.
My overall impression
Sigute’s performance of her deeply personal story ranged from poignant to tragic to relatable but most of all: Inspirational. She bravely bared her soul and took responsibility for her life. She was dealt some tough situations — some of her own doing and some outside of her control — but rose up and through sheer determination successfully slayed her inner demons. Her story should be an inspiration to all who have our own addictions (and that would be all of us), whether it is alcohol, drugs, food, or a combination of some or all of them. I left feeling profoundly grateful to Sigute for her selfless sharing of her years long journey and feeling that I, too, can overcome my unhealthy habits. This show should be a “much see” for all!
