My god was this a way to end the evening! All We Have is heartbreaking in the softest way, it explores grief with so much honesty and compassion towards the less conventional ways we respond to loss. The costuming was superb, the use of Roses colour juxtaposing the black everyone else wore made her stand out both as not really gone and not really present. The cast trusted their audience to read the subtext so realizations felt natural and absolutely devastating, but they were also able to naturally clarify circumstance within their storytelling so I was never hesitant to trust my interpretation. The poetry in each line played like a real conversation, even when characters were constantly dropping some of the most beautiful words I’ve heard in a show. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

Such a rollercoaster of a show, the very idea of a ‘villain’ in classic stories was completely flipped at least three times and I was absolutely fascinated by the way they left things. It’s a complicated examination of online relationships that doesn’t just lecture you on safety or stranger danger, there was always clarity in why each person did what they did and how even their best intentions can lead to the worst outcomes. Even when I didn’t agree with the characters I always felt the desperation and want that drove them. This is an incredible show, and absolutely one of my highlights this year.

The use of silence and space in this show was lonely in a natural way that I think everyone has felt before. The ideas Astia offers are just that- offers. We as the audience are given space to accept and process the emotions she places before us. A little slow for me, but I think that’s part of what makes the story so compelling and real.

A funny, honest, heartbreaking look into the reality of ADHD without the trend. I laughed, I cried, I felt more understood than I’ve felt since my own diagnosis. This is a must-see for anyone who loves the Fringe.

A fascinating exploration of femininity in high power careers and how awful it feels to be overlooked or ‘fixed’. Slow for my tastes, but I enjoyed the use of video and how it broke my expectations of its use.
