This is an incredible theatricalization of mental health struggles. The tightly-written, nuanced solo show is compelling and engaging throughout and was an ideal form for exploring Miles' mind in a way that left questions unanswered but still felt satisfyingly comprehensive, empathetic, and sensitive. The titular extended metaphor of the string that Miles describes is so beautifully written/explored through dialogue. Zubel writes such amazing pieces about the intersection of mental health, recovery, and care, and this one is no exception! I'd so love to see it performed live.
