    Bizarre and delicious, this fast-food fairy tale guides the audience through one woman's journey within depression. A creative world with plenty of play for the production team and performers, we see true grief, plenty of humor, and a world of possibility. And oh, the delightful Cook chorus!

    Carrie Barrett has created a truly unique world that I would love to see explored on stage. Lots of room for creative design and staging choices.

    Terrific insight into depression, fast food and the trappings that come from this corporate takeover spun in a fun way. Well done.
