FIONA

FULL LENGTH: FIONA is the performance of a lifetime. What begins as the story of a final performance of a show about 25 letters found in a thrift shop all addressed to "Fiona", the play soon spirals into an examination of the power of belief, the weight of a legacy, and the anxiety of becoming forgotten.

    FIONA is unlike I have ever read. After the first time through it, I just paced my living room chewing on what I had just taken in. Each time I have encountered FIONA, I discover something new that takes my breath away. FIONA demands your attention and an open mind. It is a mystery we may not solve, but the ending moment will haunt me forever.

    The way Fiona has, is, and will forever activate, break, then reactivate my brain is nothing short of outstanding. I bow to Fiona, though I'm only 40% sure that's what Fiona would want. To say, I delighted in and excitedly met Fiona's evocative, surreal questions on the nature of theatre, lies vs. pretend, legacy, and humanity's predilection for storytelling. I actually met someone who met someone who went to the same high school as Fiona. They said they had no comment on this recommendation.
