What I liked

I loved how well it was staged. Each scene felt real, even with just a slight shift in the chairs or set pieces. I loved the pacing of the piece and felt the actors really committed to give us a very solid look at this world.

What I didn't like

Um. Nothing!

My overall impression

Good lord, what a show! Not having any clue as to what we were seeing, I was immediately blown away with in five minutes. The script is on point. The actors are on point. The staging and directing are on point. It is easily one of the best shows you will see this year. It’s funny. It’s emotional and heartwarming. It’s alarming. It really does cover a lot of ground. Not only that, Peter’s script allows every actor to shine. Just when you think someone is merely playing a side character, they suddenly get this big moment to really showcase their talent. It’s not something you see a lot, and it’s a great thing when it’s done well. And at the core are the incredible performances of Peter and Carrie. Just phenomenal.
