What I liked

Honestly I just really enjoyed the acting and uniqueness to each characters vibe. Each character in this play had a stance. The way they walked, talked, and even posed gave each character a certain vibe that fit with their overall character. Sad characters would be droopy and speak low. Zany characters would never sit still. Honestly I just really appreciated how animated everyone was.

And the acting. I genuinely felt myself absorbed by the performances here. Especially Nameless, give that actor an award cause that was perfect casting. In general this play had some incredible actors behind it.

The writing. In general this was tight and very well done. I loved how modern it felt yet it old at the same time. I loved when characters would acknowledge when others are being weird. Really made the characters feel believable. The story is easy to follow and I genuinely felt this is pretty unique in terms of a play. Or rather how it’s structured. Really the ending part is what got me. Just incredible.

What I didn't like

Give this thing a budget. I want to see it adapted into an actual production with some real money behind it cause it genuinely deserves all the funding. It’s so good.

My overall impression

This one is for the Neil Gaiman fans who want to see more queer representation. I enjoyed this play alot. The characters were fascinating, the acting on point, and the shocking way the play unfolded will leave you STUNNED! This play was genuinely so engaging. I felt like every dialogue and body movement was intentional. From the way each character walked or stood they each felt very unique. I genuinely enjoyed the acting and overall “World” of this play. Whoever wrote this needs to win some kind of award cause not a bit of dialogue felt wasted and my jaw literally dropped towards the end. This is a must see!
