Generational ✨traaaauummmaaaaaaaaaa✨

I was cast as Little Charles for a production in New York. This play is challenging, dark, and can be difficult to watch. 

The more you examine it the more it unfolds before you, and the more you can take from it. It's got layers!

Raw look at the interwoven dynamics of a familiar in dysfunction. Enjoyed the realistic characters and the unflinching look at addiction and trauma. Dinged .25 for no uplifting redemptive arc, but flawless otherwise.

Hey what the actual Fuck. 
I don’t think I can add stars to this review because I genuinely don’t know what to rate it as out of 5.
