What I liked

The music choices were excellent!!

Parts of the show were deeply personal to the performer which made it deeply touching for the audience members. I enjoyed all cutting between the bits (supported by the sound and lighting) which at times made us feel we were right in the middle of an anxiety attack with the character. The ending was heart warming and made us all feel a little less alone.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

Witch Hazel: An Anxiety Play is a wonderful show about escapism, fantasies and coming to terms with reality and self. It was well written, with lighting and staging that supported the performer. And it might just quote on of your favorite books!

Eliza has a captivating presence and did great with making shifts between the characters. Her acting was alive, raw, authentic and vulnerable. Realllllly enjoyed this show!
