I want to commend the actor as it is quite the risk to play two characters solo on stage with nothing but a chair, some coloured lights, and your own gumption. There’s nothing else to draw (or distract) the audience’s eye from your performance. That’s a lot of pressure!

I think this actor did a great job of embodying the two characters in this. The script did a fair bit of heavy lifting in developing these characters, but this performer brought a lot in their voice, mannerisms, and movement to make these characters feel real.

Overall, I think this was fine. It sometimes felt a bit long due to its density and meandering pace. I wouldn’t go out of my way to see this, but it would make a decent gap-filler.
