My overall impression
I’m very glad I was fortunate enough to see the last performance of this show. Whoever didn’t get to see this show missed out.
Rarely does one actor effectively portray more than one character quickly without the benefit of some type of prop or costume. Jim flawlessly shifts between six characters by my count (four major characters).
It deals with one of the most powerful human emotions: Shame. And yet, it’s about so much more. It’s about family, it’s about religion, it’s about a specific time and place of existence.
I enjoyed the show. As a physical theatre artist, I found a deep respect for Jim’s commitment to every action on the stage. There is no hiding in a one person show, and he brought an impressive game to the stage.
