What I liked

I loved Claire’s audience interaction. She was nimble and connected, rolling with each person she interacted with effortlessly. Her physical comedy was superb. Emotional generosity unparalleled. Claire Woolner is truly a remarkable performer. Loved every moment.

What I didn't like

This question makes me want to kill myself. Nothing. It was perfect.

My overall impression

A Retrospection is a brilliant piece of theatre. There are not words to express how blown away I was by this show. Truly spectacular. It was weird, creative, vulnerable, fresh, honest, quirky, wild, and hysterical. It made me cry. My face hurt from laughing. I felt privileged to sit in the room and witness Claire’s art with an audience, she is a tour de force. One of my favorite shows at the Fringe this year, DO NOT MISS IT!
