I saw this strange and truly magical show just the other day, and was so glad that I did. The characters shape shift, blend, merge, diverge, each conveying wisdom and compelling engagement with. Exquisite representation of so many human emotions play across the being of Lewis as he morphs, often delicately, into new aspects, each time leaving you staggering in his wake. Both actors hold the tension of being: of loving, leaving, desperation, abandonment and companionship into a wilful yet tender exposition of humanity. Christine Isherwood
