This play not only shows the depths of depression and how people struggle with it, but the impact it has on those around them. It also shows how there isn't an easy answer, either. Rob wants to emphasize with Anna's condition, and clearly loves her, but reality (and depression, brilliantly portrayed by The Form) has other plans. This is a play that leaves you with questions rather than answers, which all great theatre should do.

Wow. This sharp, compelling play draws you in with its funny, edgy meet cute with irony, but takes a meaningful turn when the writer shows the underbelly of her intentions. Its darkness is revealed with complexity and nuance - while its shining writing keeps you engaged. The dialogue sparkles, the characters pop off the page, and the story follows their tragic yet surprising yet inevitable arcs. It uses a physicalized and theatrical metaphor to depict the struggle of mental illness. Audiences will, no doubt, be entertained, surprised, moved, and have a lot to talk about!

A riveting portrayal of depression, “She’s Not There” is thoughtful and broadly meaningful, while also uncompromising in it’s exploration of one specific tragedy. We as the audience are left - along with the character of Rob, in a stunning ending - with an imprint of a life struggling to transcend circumstance (and potentially succeeding - the ending is beautifully complex and can lead to a variety of theories that will no doubt be discussed on the drive home). In addition, the play features some fine and lovely dialogue. A gripping, thought-provoking work.
