What I liked
I liked the content, the pacing, the arc, and the at-time deeply personal reflections. Also, I don’t know what the other guy was talking about: the amount of liquids in the splash zone was very well-balanced and the viscosity first-rate
What I didn't like
1. I think she knows this already, but we saw an early rendition of the show that just needed the usual hiccups worked out
2. I know it’s essentially a one-woman-show but I think she’s wonderful at crowd work and would want to see more of the audience incorporated into the show.
3. When the venue permits, I’d also like to see the “drafts” up on a screen…I feel like that would be in version 2.0 anyway.
My overall impression
Avital’s show was truly funny, memorable, evocative, did I mention funny? I knew we were workshopping a suicide note, but wasn’t prepared for roller coaster of emotions that came with the humor-dipped poignancy. Whatever stops we made into the abyss were carefully punctuated with quick – but not cheap – laughs on either side…a sadwich, as it were…which had you asking “Is she okay?” and answering “probably”. 10/10 would see again. May she never finish.
