What I liked

Vanessa Boss is a very talented actor, able to switch between a multitude of characters with a quick change in physicality and performance, pulling off what could be a confusing concept in less capable hands. Emotionally gripping and relatable, directed and produced with creative flair, and filled with enough moments of levity to break the tension before the next heartbreak.

What I didn't like

Not much.

My overall impression

A heart-wrenching and beautifully performed piece about growing up and finding your true self, despite the familial, social, and personal pressures threatening to devour you whole.
