Wonderful performance. Amazing transformations.

This is one of the stronger solo shows in this year's festival. The performer is clearly well practiced and in full command of his material. The show is predicated on three different, unrelated characters, each of whom are portrayed in turn via extended monologue. The first character is a lively (and deranged) Beatles fan; this bit is entirely comedic, quite entertaining, and pulls the audience onto his side. The next two characters deepen the drama - a frustrated housewife with dreams of Paris and a disallusioned young punk dealing with family drama. This is a show worth seeing.

This show is a must-see. Wesley Connor will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions escaping into 3 totally different worlds, catching a glimpse into the lives of 3 amazingly different characters... Samuel,President of The Lonely Hearts Club, Grace, an Obedient Mrs. Cleaver-like house wife and Alex, a destructive youth filled with much confusion- all of which examine their own way of standing alone in a world filled with fear, angst and disaster. I highly suggest going out and seeing this wonderful production and witnessing this remarkable gem Canadian performer!

intense energy, great character work, the guy is good-looking and totally at home on stage...poignantly funny & bittersweet, actually, the first character drove me crazy, was rather unsettling, made me nervous. maybe that wasn't the intention, but he seemed disordered in some fundamental way... borderline insane and borderline funny. the other two were much stronger, well...they were all very well-acted, but the second two were more appealing as individuals, so I was more willing to spend time with them. Obviously very well-directed and -written. what a pleasure that must have been-a talented actor working with a talented director......but I kept thinking: why couldn't this be a play? with other people in it? The intensity would become so much more three-dimensional, so to speak, but whatever... I have this thing about one-person shows...they're great, like this one was, but they are somehow less ...theatre...no one agrees with me, but whatever...

Great acting, well polished piece. Sticks with you. A study of three characters who are all struggling with the disappointment of how their lives turned out; all attempting escape through different forms of fantasy. Very sad, yet unfortunately, very real

I loved this show. If you want to see great acting and great directing go see this wonderful one-man show. You will not be sorry you took a chance on this show. It is AMAZING! WOW! Wesley Connor is so incredibly talented.
