We sat down and waited for the show to start. As the lights dimmed, we were pulled into Dave's amazing world of storytelling. His way of telling stories is definitely unique as he incorporates it with his tools for remembering things. This is not a play with 52 stories, but with the introduction of a deck of cards and the ability to remember the order of the audience shuffled deck is amazing...but it's not the star of the show. It's the storytelling. It's the heartfelt words that poured out of his mouth. His stories incited visual shows in my own mind. His memories of his friends and family encouraged my brain to remember ones that I wanted to remember and bring up over and over again.
This show has humour, fun, but the biggest thing it has is a huge heart.
Given that each show is likely different every time, I hope to have the chance to see it again with the deck of cards being in a different order.
Thank you, Dave, for a very entertaining one hour of your storytelling. I'm also rather grateful I didn't dream of Gandalf and a newspaper. That's an image I'll never get out of my mind though!
