Alone

I did feel this ran a little long, but the actor playing Taylor was one of the best I saw at the fringe this year - not to say Holland wasn't good too. Solid little show and concept. Definitely worth your time.

Well acted, well written, well paced, and well stages. A really good show.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS! Incredible acting, pace and storyline. I know how hard it can be for duologue plays to keep the audience’s attention and ‘Alone’ did it so well. I was utterly sucked in to the world they created. Honestly brilliant and a must see!

I think this 2-hander was the best-acted show I saw at the Fringe. I was near the front, and the emotional intensity was quite disturbing in places, which is just as it should be! It almost certainly had the best set too actually- a real treat for a sci-fi fan to be immersed in this detailed deep-space vessel.

I disagree with some other reviewers here that it's too long- didn't drag for me (OK the duct tape scene went on a bit...) I wouldn't be without the humorous mucking about at the start, which almost makes it feel like we're in for a female version of Red Dwarf, before it settles down to more serious business.

I did have a few issues with the script and direction here and there: an unrealistic reaction after a life-threatening event, an unbelievable thing about the scientist's research, and an oddly undramatic handling of surely the most dramatic event in the play. That final bit of musical trolling was pretty odd as well.

While it has it flaws, it was a very touching story about hope, love and loss. Was a bit overacted and and a bit too long but would still recommend.

Outstanding show. The performances were the impeccable - the best I've seen at the festival thus far. Tightly scripted, hard-hitting, and narratively satisfying. If this doesn't get an award I don't know what will!

This show was next level. I came in only knowing there was an element of sci fi which I generally am not a fan of but wow was this show good. Acting, writing, design, lighting, sound, and direction were all top notch in their own but together they managed to create something extremely tense, tragic, and so so beautiful. The final stage picture of the show will be burned into my mind for weeks. I was lucky to see it and cannot recommend it more.

I quite liked the 'stationtostation' album cover-inspired publicity image.

I agree with prior reviews. This would have gained if some of the material had been shaved. The bit about the noodles and the dance at the beginning could easily be taken out.

Absolutely brilliant! Incredibly captivating and emotional.

Highly recommend - as good an hour and a half of theatre as you'll see this year. Great premise, great script and great performances.

Great Show .Quirky , funny ,emotionally draining and very well acted. Deserves to be on list when awards handed out.

A well acted performance that takes you on an emotional journey from the quirky to the tragic via the intense menace of unforgiving deep space. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Got off to a slow start as previous reviewer said it could do with shaving a bit of time off at the start. The storyline developed and became more interesting towards the end. 2**

Great acting which raised my favourite philosophical and existential issues! Funny, moving and insightful on personal and professional relationship dynamics too. Definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed Alone. The 2 actors performances and script/storyline were well done, however, both of us felt it was too drawn out and it would have been more powerful with 10-15 minutes shaved off it.

Started off pleasantly amusing, some of the inevitable oddness that would come with a long space fight but built nicely into a feeling of menace leading up to a very taut finish. Two performers, with nothing to hide behind, putting in excellent performances.
