This play, a meditation on the loneliness we can feel with our partners, our communities, within ourselves, is lovely, sad and very real (with a touch of otherworldliness for good measure). I highly recommend this piece.

I am so impressed by the elegant way this play is structured to allow us into such intimate and subtly heartbreaking moments on stage. It feels effortless and dreamlike, but is so expertly done. Gibson explores the feeling of loneliness in a crowd here with such nuance and sensitivity. I was very drawn to the way this play makes you feel the anxiety of being trapped at a party where you don't know anyone, but also presents these beautiful opportunities for escape through connection and honesty between the characters. An unusually delicate and aching piece of theatre.

WHEN WE FALL feels as intimate as it does dangerous. Gibson's skillful use of the rooftop and bathroom establish an ever-present sense of foreboding and quiet menace that draws me into the space and into the lives of these characters. Her acute sense of rhythm make Trina, Clare, Andrew, and Dalir feel familiar and somehow undiscovered -like I might never learn all of their secrets. In the end I'm left with a kind of painful hope that feels true to our world, which adds to the grounding magic of this play.
