I Lost You There

See it if you're open to solo shows; ILYT is well written and very well performed. Multiple characters provide viewpoints on the central story. Clever

Don't see it if you want an education (like ADS's Notes Fr the Field). ILYT is a rambling look at grief, love, death, etc. Some sketches don't quite work.

See it if You like great storytelling. This is not the best one-person performing all the characters I’ve seen but it’s one of the best stories!!

Don't see it if You don’t like one person shows. She plays all the characters.

See it if You like a quality one woman show. She does absorbing characters with a nice wrap around at the end. 60 minutes long. All around solid show.

Don't see it if You don't like one person shows.

See it if Well crafted story about different people confronting death. Has a lot to say: are we burdened, relieved? Uses humor and surprise.

Don't see it if You want a longer show, or a non-solo piece. The show keeps you entertained, leaving you to think about the meaning afterward.

See it if you enjoy a one-woman show where she masters a number of characters by changing voice and mannerisms. Explores a tough subject with humor.

Don't see it if you are bothered by treating death in a hilarious way.

See it if you like one person shows in which an excellent actor plays multiple parts men and women both, plays that require thinking and discernment

Don't see it if you don't like one person shows, are easily confused by unreliable narrators with an air of mystery, don't like abrupt, open-ended endings

Also Iris Bahr has an excellent comedic sense in her writing and in her impersonation of the men and women in her plot which seems to confuse or baffle some members of the audience, since not everything is resolved and many plot issues are left wide open for perhaps too much speculation.... Read more Read less

See it if Enjoy mentally creating a whole from many parts. Each character's personality adds to an event of which some of them are not even aware.

Don't see it if you dislike one person shows where the performer becomes many characters. Also it is very short, under an hour.

See it if Like solo play w 1 actor-many parts. This is a well-crafted and performed. Much is funny/touching, but is notable for deft character work.

Don't see it if Don't like shows where death is explored from varying viewpoints, want to be deeply moved or laugh out loud.

Also I enjoyed this show, but was surprised not to be more engaged with it. While Iris performed her characters well, the script she had written had a lot of scatalogical references and that started to distance me from the storyline. I'm not squeamish or prudish- just never cared enough about some of the characters. That is not to say it's not an intelligent show - this is clearly the work of a seasoned artist. The mother's story was well-done. The staging, set design and lighting are effective.

Saw this at the Cherry Lane Theatre in mid-October, 2017.... Read more Read less

See it if enjoy shows where one person takes on the role of many different personalities whose lives interconnect and she does it seemlessly

Don't see it if you don't like one person shows or any dialogue that includes death

Also Iris Bahr's performance was very good. The thread of the story and transition from one character to the next was flawless.

I left with the feeling that the script was good, the performance was very good -
yet something was lacking. There were parts that were funny but it did not elicit the type of hearty laugh that makes me feel good. And I was not emotionally touched by the characters.... Read more Read less
