- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5audience interaction was a really clever way of communicating the story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I saw this play in 2019 and was blown away by the audience interaction and the blend of comedy and drama. I loved being able to read the stage directions and examples of what the original actor did. During this strange quarantine it was good to read a collection of random beautiful things. I’ll revisit this one again.
