See it if you want to see a marvelous actress display a wide range of skills. She is so real you feel as if there is no fourth wall.
Don't see it if you're a pain-in-the ass like me and want an ending as well-written and convincing as the first 80% of the show.
See it if you've 80 mins to spare (you do!) to laugh, think, cry. Amy writes/performs moving show abt love/loss. Brutally honest abt her flaws/wishes.
Don't see it if you want a perfect-paced piece. A bit c. be trimmed. Still, a truly lovely solo show. It was at HERE for 2.5 weeks. Glad I caught it!
See it if You want to be touched by something deeply in heart, crying, and reminding again about life and loss.
Don't see it if You don’t like solo play
See it if Great play to laugh with tears!
Don't see it if You do not enjoy solo show.

What raises the play above sitcom status is Crossman’s ability to be both casual and intense at the same time. The theater is tiny and she tailors her performance to the intimacy of the performance space. She easily gets away with speaking directly to the audience with her combination of girlish pleasure and adult satisfaction and gives a totally absorbing portrait.

“Theater should be accessible to all, especially when plays like ‘The Great Divide’ touch upon important topics such as suicide, mental health, and alcoholism. Talking about these matters with delicacy serves a larger purpose of raising awareness and letting us know we’re not alone...The play is a tragicomedy, where the audience laughs during the performance but once you are just about to leave the theater it might make you shed a tear and look at those unimportant, ordinary details of life with more curiosity.”
