What I liked

I really liked his use of body language to portray characters and tell the story. All his characters were subtle, distinct, and specific.

I loved how the story was not a linear telling of one man’s life but rather we were brought into the inner turmoil, related to it, and came out on the other side more connected to him and to ourselves.

The device of the clock was brilliant and kept us on the edge of our seats.

What I didn't like

Honestly, nothing. What Christion Ty Edwards was just beautiful and authentic. A must see.

My overall impression

The show was incredible. A well-thought-out, elevated one-person show that was not only about one man’s story, but somehow managed to tap into the core of humanity creating a palpable universal experience. It was authentic and heartbreaking.
