Observations:
- This play is dense and multi-layered, but the levity and craft of the framing story (that is expertly integrated later into the primary action) eases the viewer into the more esoteric and eclectic storytelling elements.
- The multi-media design is astounding. Created by Spencer Padilla and CSU alum Carly Garinger, the video segments (which include CSUers Adam Seeholzer and Chari Estevez) seemlessly interact with Seibert, and the use of live video feeds from the stage are novel, exciting, and extremely effective.
- Chris Seibert is really funny. Her timing is impeccable.
- The imagery runs the gamut from horror films to the story of Persephone and Hades to game shows to Agatha Christie-esque murder mysteries. It all resolves itself, however, into a very singular, mythological story of the hero's journey: the call, the descent, and the return with a boon to benefit humankind.
