This play is such a delight. An exceedingly entertaining subversion of the biographical one-person-show, as well a brilliant examination of several different kinds of superheroism, Alexandratos keeps the play moving without ever getting maudlin, letting a powerful, heartbreaking story hit us as organically and unexpectantly as it hits its protagonist. It's so intimate and well crafted it starts to feel like our own family history.
