A wonderfully unsettling play that pulls off some nifty tricks with point of view and subjectivity. The device of the audience being able to understand what Calvin cannot, along with the fluid shifts in character give us a great sense of Calvin's fragile mental state. Sometimes the scariest sounds in the woods are actually inside our own heads.

Wow! What an original and compelling play! I absolutely loved the (mis)translation theatrical device as well as the haunting reappearances of Tommy throughout. The theatrical universe Robideau has created here is unsettling, hilarious, off-kilter, and at times magical, and it is used to tell a potent story about addiction, mental health/PTSD, and toxic relationships. It manages to be genuinely funny, at times sweet, a little sexy, occasionally scary, and surprisingly touching--if that sounds chaotic, it's not. This world, on the contrary, feels very aesthetically coherent. Theatrical and begs to be seen in a live production!

In this dark comedy, what starts out as a getaway trip to Finland becomes something much, much, deeper and darker. Stranded in a place where he can't speak the native language, Calvin is forced to dive into his shadow self-taking the audience with him. It's impeccably written and it had me on the edge of my seat. I really hope to see this play produced one day!
