Slow, Quirky, Funny, Confusing, Edgy

See it if You appreciate creative approaches to theater - here, the various characters were played by one actor, using dolls and very simple puppets

Don't see it if You want to see a deep, thoughtful and well-paced play Read more

Great acting, Ambitious, Enchanting, Quirky, Slow

See it if you want to see a one woman adaptation of this classic play, she really does an admirable job throughout

Don't see it if you want a fully staged piece, or want a contemporary play - also the use of puppets is REALLY misadvertised...

Ambitious, Absorbing, Great acting, Interdisciplinary, Playful

See it if You want to be inspired as a director. There are some really interesting choices made in the staging of this show. You enjoy sock puppets.

Don't see it if You dislike frame narratives or an excess of artifice. Dislike one-person shows. (it's technically a two-hander for brief moments) Read more

Ambitious, Confusing, Disappointing, Quirky, Slow

See it if You want to support young actors & low budget production that is experimental with a “in development” feel. Interesting idea but didn’t work

Don't see it if You expect creative puppetry. This was a 1 woman show presenting an abbreviated version of Hedda Gabler told with dolls and sock puppets.

Quirky, Thought-provoking, Confusing

See it if You already know the story of Hedda and want to see it in a totally unique one woman production

Don't see it if You want a fully fleshed production, or even a completely coherent point of view.
