A really unique, theatrical piece that explores cancer, mental illness, healing, medicine, and more in a way I haven't seen before! It captures the overwhelming nature, uncertainty, helplessness, and other complex feelings surrounding the disease. More interestingly, it does so with a combination of funny and potent two person scenes as well as more metatheatrical and abstract sequences. The final moment was gloriously unresolved and included a brilliant extended metaphor used or hinted at throughout the piece. So wonderful to read a play on this topic that entirely eschews sentiment or expected/familiar treatment of a cancer narrative.

The riptide that is cancer and the desperate desire to fight and save as the water rises over their heads is beautifully communicated with expert craftsmanship. Incredibly moving and well done!

A really interesting plays that addresses illness and the ethics of medicine in such a highly theatrical way. I'd be very interested in seeing the different ways that directors, actors and designers will create the magical images that Jagernauth has written.
