After August

Thinking & Feeling Theatre Company—Tom Hendry Warehouse

The general rule is that comedies do better at the Fringe, which is why I love when someone has the guts to do a drama, and by golly is this a drama. A heartfelt and gut-wrenching exploration of world-altering grief and the self-destructive behaviours it can push us toward, this show will break your heart over and over again, both for better and for worse. The set and lighting design absolutely blew me away. There is one point near the end that might seem odd to any who have taken their share of first-aid classes, but that is a very minor complaint for such a beautiful production.
