Clever writing and excellent performance work. This is the type of work that excels in the Fringe environment. Definitely worth seeing.

A touching, yet humorous performance. The script was very clever and the actress very believable. Highly Recommend.

A touching, yet humorous performance. The script was very clever and engaging. The character had believable depth and the actress performed Anne's character flawlessly. Highly Recommend.

Powerful, well-acted and equally well-written (with an astonishing number of funny lines for a play on shockwaves from a suicide). Chloe Ariane Whitehorn really catches Anne's teenage voice and viewpoint. We alternate between Anne live and Anne's confessional YouTube videos--since Mom snoops in her diary but can't work the web, Anne says online what she can't write at home. A lot of Fringe shows are standup, improv, music, performance art, or circus, but "Diary" is full-on theatre, a play encompassing a whole life in under an hour. Moved me as a viewer, impressed me as a writer/performer. I'll be watching for more from her.
When I review Fringe shows I have two readers in mind: mainly Fringe goers, but I try to include suggestions for improvement, for the playwright and actors. But for "Diary" I can't. Nothing I'd change at all.

Wow--really impressed with all aspects of this show- writing, acting, content, projecctions, & subtext. It takes you on a ride and you THINK you know where you're going....but you don't. Also, a really nice balance of humour with the darker moments.

Loved this show! Main character was charming and captivating. Lovely writing and interesting plot twists. It's one of those shows you can see several times and keep unravelling the layers each time you watch it.

I don't often wake up the "morning after" I see a show with it on my mind, but the story line of this one was so fascinating and carefully constructed that I was trying to recall some of the lines that might have helped me predict the powerful ending. The writing and acting were great, and I don't want to say any more lest I spoil the discovery process for you when you go see it, which I strongly encourage you to do!
