Review by JP KARLIAK

June 20, 2016 certified reviewer

What I liked

Not meant to be a water pun, but this was a deeply immersive show.

What I didn't like

Nothing except the heat, but hey, it’s LA in June, nobody’s fault but Mother Nature.

My overall impression

There’s nothing better in black box theatre than for a setless, soundless, sparse as hell space to be transformed into a living, breathing world—in this case, a fishing ship—merely through suggestion. Powerful characterizations from every cast member, innovative staging and gorgeous sea shanties in every transition brought this breathless, suspenseful tale to life. Not to be missed.
