Have you ever wondered what balancing a job, a difficult family, and a polyamorous relationship looks like? If so, Alex and Michael and Hannah might be the show for you. This play comprised of 4 actors is both a love story and a peek into the struggles of life, and how one balances their own happiness with their family’s approval.

Although, to me, this show read as quite cringey and felt uncomfortable to watch at times, it has phenomenal actors, effective use of sets and audio, and a great score. Each actor was thoroughly convincing in their role and truly helped bring this story to life.

This show also does a great job of addressing expectations — both of oneself and from family, and how the feeling of being genuinely loved can allow one to finally feel confident just being oneself.

This show gives the audience a glimpse into what life in a polyamorous relationship in Alberta can look and feel like — both the struggles and the joy that can come with it.
