What I liked
The visual at the end of the wine pouring all over them and the subsequent Lady Macbeth moment is pure genius and lingered in my mind all night. The OCD-like bits were an interesting insight that I wasn’t expecting. I loved Calliope’s direction and involvement in the show, the audience interaction, poor Devin and his heely shoes and fake sword, the pitiful tree, and the SCRIPT. Such a strong show that I know I’ll be thinking about it for a while. If it was the end of the world, I’d be fine with this being my final few minutes.
What I didn't like
It was hot in the theater so I was sweating haha
My overall impression
A Fringe stunner! One of the best solo shows I’ve ever seen. Jill’s acting, comedic timing, and exasperated dealing-with-little-kids voice hooked me the entire time. I didn’t want the world’s ending timer to go off so i could keep watching this evocative piece!! The jump back and forth between trying to keep up a facade and put on a show while dealing with the realities of fear and death was so prominent. Jill perfectly embodies how it feels to do such a seemingly trivial thing like theater in the face of a doomed world…yet convinces us all of its importance at the same time.
