Ten-tickles My Fancy

I wish I hadn’t gone to see this alone, or that I’d had the courage to turn to someone next to me afterwards. This is one of those pieces that can spark conversation.

The actresses were phenomenal. Their performances felt raw, intense, and (purposefully) unhinged. They also had great chemistry together, playing characters who were opposite in many ways while being in a strange, co-dependent relationship.

Even with a fairly simple setup, the piece never felt long or boring. The story continued to move forward through the dialogue and monologues of the two women, gradually revealing more about their relationship and their reality.

I really appreciated the lighting direction as well. It made a noticeable difference in how the actresses appeared, which felt especially important given that the audience surrounded the box-like space from different angles. I also enjoyed the visuals running on the screen in the background. They added atmosphere and a stronger sense of unease to what was happening onstage.
