It is a heartbreaking, nuanced story that builds to a devastating yet perfect finale. Truly groundbreaking television telling the story of a man being sexually abused and stalked and the trauma that follows. The acting is pure magic, including Emmy-worthy performances by Gadd, Gunning, and Mau. Episode four is a standalone monolith on par with "Long, Long Time" from The Last of Us and "4,722 Hours" from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is a testament to the originality and pure genius storytelling at the Edinburgh Fringe. Building a one-hour show from scratch on a less-than-shoestring budget that is captivating enough to fill a 200-seat theatre for an entire month entirely by word-of-mouth and odd flyer, is a feat most are not built for. Once given the chance to tell it on a grander scale, they rarely squander it.
