Pros:
The acting is great. Rebeca Alemán is excellent as Paulina struggling to recover her speaking ability and her memory. Erik K. Roberts is superb as Rodrigo, her co-worker and caretaker.
The subject matter is life or death.
Cons:
The main action doesn’t take place on stage. Instead, it is just talked about.
The subtitles are displayed on an uneven curtain which makes it difficult to read. Also, they are in both English in Spanish, depending on which language they are speaking. This is very confusing. The audience doesn’t know whether to listen or to read, so they try to do both, which is practically impossible. A good solution is to have the English subtitles displayed in a different location than the Spanish subtitles.
At 95 minutes, it is a bit long to not have an intermission. Join the Pro-Intermission movement here.
The listed start time of 7pm is not the actual start time. It starts about 20 minutes later.
