What I liked

Well done bringing mental health theatre to the stage. The writing and performance of The Sad Life of a Happy Man really brings home the internal struggles that most people hide away. This work expresses the difficulty of finding your way out of the darkness. One man playing many versions of himself both captured the audience and made his battles with depression very palpable.

What I didn't like

The turnaround of intention and motivation could have been a bit stronger at the end.

My overall impression

Such a difficult task to express the inner workings of a depressed mind, but Ty pulls it off. WOW!
