What I liked

I love the premise, I loved how they embraced the darkness of the piece and went full balls to wall dark and insane. The actress playing Janette was delightfully unhinged and psychotic. Loved her! I truly bought the relationship between Vince and Devin; they had amazing chemistry. The detective…had the best acting chops in the whole show. This is not to say that everyone else wasn’t great, but he really stood out to me, his monologue about a past bust was so messed up to laugh at…and yet I did, great job. I’d see this show again, definitely something I’d like to see expanded. Also I loved how they didn’t try to hard to be funny. They just played the situation honestly and the humor just flowed naturally.

What I didn't like

Volume. The actors need to project. I was sitting in the second row, and some stuff I couldn’t hear. Also diction, some words were garbled.-Other than that, great show.

My overall impression

I was entertained and disturbed. It was a great horror comedy, the acting was superb. Everyone was connected to the piece and to each other. I loved the simplicity of the set; it really fit in the space well and looked real. I loved it!
