My overall impression
Oh Alex Knox, what is it like to be one of “those” people? He tells us he was “awkward” and “shy” in high school but I can’t help but think he was still the Homecoming King. Charming, handsome and talented, Knox’s writing is clear, funny and heart-felt. His acting is smart, entertaining, and filled with technique. Becca’s directing is clear and simple. I laughed, I cried, I thought about the meaning of life – all on a Sunday afternoon. I don’t know how anyone would not enjoy this show. I kept thinking about specific people I should send over right away to see it! His story is universal and his explorations are deep. My one constructive criticism, would be for Knox to “let go” a little more. I wanted more vulnerability from him. It was in the writing but in the performance I saw the “actor” Alex, not the flawed human Alex. Don’t get me wrong, it is still so, so great! I simply wanted some raw vulnerability thrown into his perfected technique.
