Absolutely love this solo show - what a complicated ride. Dave is able to layer large ideas and heavy themes in such an intimate and elegant manner. I couldn't stop reading. Highly, highly recommend, one of the best solo shows I've ever read.

This is a moving story of intimacy and lost illusions and betrayal of trust. Bob's struggle is both specific and universally resonant. His relationships with his parents and "best friend" add depth and texture to his narrative. Bob is a richly drawn and compelling narrator of his difficult story. I was thoroughly engaged and moved throughout.

Queer people often endure a "second" adolescence, experiencing dating/romantic initiations well after our peers. Add a neurodivergence: reality is experienced differently, subtext is lost, manipulations go unnoticed, and we're easy marks.
Osmundsen captures Bob's belated coming of age in riveting detail, heartbreaking because we recognize Alex's machinations while Bob can't. And it's a feeding frenzy.

Anyone who's given their heart to someone who then treated it as a food source will feel like their diary is being read aloud.

It's also a testament to resilience and growing up, even when our own brains make us bigger targets. Bravo!
