Left disappointed
I had higher hopes for the show. I wished the kids had been more of the show, it was about being a resilient child right? And unless I missed something, I felt it was disjointed as to why everyone felt like there was a link to one another *except* the one who spoke the most, was obviously most comfortable, and felt like he was doing a show separate from the rest. Beyond that the execution by the adults felt shaky and it could have used a few more rehearsals to polish it up.

A must see
Might be the best Fringe show I've ever seen. The stage space was small and dark, perfect for a dark subject matter. The actresses seemed to become the 11 year olds before the audience, mannerisms, set pieces and speech patterns. The music was an amazing accompaniment to build the tension. Great use of shadow work, visuals on the walls, and irl sound bites supporting the dialogue. After the show I read up on the actual story and I become more and more impressed with how Anisa and Morgan were brought to life on stage.
