Certainly this was a form of therapy during the writing as well as for an audience or reader. The premise and structure is interesting and will keep an audience captivated. Salwa Meghjee's monologue has power and fear and confusion and clarity all wrapped up in a party of the oddest sort. Cupcakes and gifts and audience participation round it all out. Nice!

I really adored this play. A solo piece that intimately deals with mental illness. I'm amazed by the way Meghjee uses the framing device of a birthday celebration to discuss such personal issues. Loved the moments for audience interaction. This play is just so earnest. It made me love the art form of theatre and gave me hope for what's possible when we get real about our struggles on stage.
