Wow! This is a truly athletic piece of solo theatre! I applaud solo artists who understand that this genre is far different than storytelling. Solo Theatre requires theatricalization to bring the story to life on stage. Marcus understands this intimately and executes it masterfully as he utilizes every space on stage with beautiful motivated movement. Also, his confidence in his delivery puts you at ease as an audience member. You trust that he is going to take you on an entertaining ride that he has skillfully polished over time.... full review
