The best play I've seen this year (so far). Good plot, great acting, equal parts whimsy, intellect, and humor. Everything a fringe play should be!

This show is a fun, fairy-tale romantic adventure with lots of spunky "girl-power". Crisp antarctic imagery and an upbeat rhythm sustained by the actors made the 50-minute show fly by. The actors are sharp. They have plenty of comedic personality, a strong command of the stage, and excellent timing. Some rapid, witty banter between these two young women reminiscent of Lucy and Ethel, Peppermint Patty and Marcie, or Laverne and Shirley. I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed the story, which seemed part Judy Blume, part Grimm's fairy tale, with a dash of John Hughes. The multi-option finale was effective and invites the viewer into the creative process of imagining an ending. Not sure about the third-person narrative where the actors talk about their characters, but it was an interesting story-telling device that highlighted the fairy-tale aspects of the story. Very cute.

This was a great show. Very funny. I have had a lot of friends (that are girls) and have seen this situation played out many times. This was by far very true to life (and a fairy tale at the same time).

Wonderful story with two very engaging actors that seem to be genuinely dedicated to their roles. The opening scene, in the dark, with Magda screaming, totally grabs your attention and peaks curiousity. Winnie (R.Reed) exceptionally captures the essence of a, like, modern day high school teenager.

These are two engaging , very likable actors who truely put themselves into the show. I enjoyed this once I got past trying to figure out what the the greater meaning of their situation was supposed to be...two high school girls embarking on a solo expedition to Antartica...adolesence? the brink of maturity? frienship? Whatever. They are stronger than the script they have to work with. So just enjoy it for what it is , and I did enjoy it.
