Lily Lourigan puts in a quietly-potent performance as Anna, everyone's favourite autistic-coded space nerd. She layers her performance with subtle strata of emotion and is an excellent reactor able to find sharp edges in her unspoken moments. I also have to admit that, when Anna finally had her queer establishing moment, it was a satisfying confirmation of the character's journey.

Directed by Herschel Kruger and based on a play about female friendship by Ali Viterbi, this is a joyful and poignant revelation of a piece. Simultaneously intimate and truly epic, it features the most moving on stage relationship of The Fringe by tremendous up and coming actors Melissa Schmidt and Lily Lourigan. Beautiful, haunting and life affirming.

The acting was splendid (particularly by the two leads) and the production values were exceptional.
