Heartbreaking (positive)
I came expecting a more straightforwardly fantastical horror experience; what I got was an intricately real one that made me sob into my purse even as I took note of the show's craft. Strout's performance and writing placed me directly in the shoes of someone who can't rely on his own memory or happiness. Denninger and Olson's whiplashing changes of expression and the starkly-patterned changes in lighting made the layered, cyclical writing beautifully tense and upsetting. I'm so glad I came.
