Lovely and faithful re-telling of Wilde's Happy Prince done in a light operatic style with some accompanying dance.

Lyrical, musical, and well acted and performed, but for those who already know the fable, this ended up feeling like it dragged on. The promised full-play (of which this was stated to be a half-length piece made of excerpts) could be more intriguing since it implies providing a framing narrative and commentary on Wilde's short story and how fairy tales can reveal deeper truths.

Excellent performances all-round from the cast and an interesting conceit to portray the swallow with two different actors -- one providing the singing and voice, the other the physicality and dancing. Good use of minimalist staging and props to keep focus on performances. Musicians were excellent but never intrusive.

Very curious to see the full show when it's ready!

Hilarious, timely, highly specific political farce.

Great comedic timing from all 3 cast members who effectively established their archtypes from the get-go and made their characters feel consistent and "true" despite the broad strokes and comedic exaggerations.

Sharp and pointed writing with excellently set up jokes, some of which got fun and unexpected callbacks later in the play.

Some excellent humour done with the non-portrayed character of the PM who was developed via correspondence and socials.

Very fun for any political or news junkie, but enjoyable for anyone who likes a farce!

The playwright and cast were aiming for one of those cosy group of misfits coming together and learning about themselves and others type of narratives, but this one just couldn't come together.

Characters were pretty flat and stereotypical and none of the attempted emotional beats were earned. The attempted dramatic climax was weak and felt less impactful than your standard real-life student politics drama.

Some competent to well-done acting from a few of the performers who were able to wring out some life and interest from what they were given, but none of them were helped by limp writing and characterization.

Excellent crowd work and Keith really knows how to make a connection with the audience.

Magic tricks were amusing and very well done with great crowd participation, but what truly made the show was the storytelling.

Will remember "Always. ALONE." for months.

Would highly recommend the show to anyone and very accessible to kids as well.
