There was 6 of us and we found this compelling. The first 10 minutes set the scene and then the time went flying by, your emotions go through a roller coaster and not one of our group would have missed this show of the 11 we did over the 2 days.

This very much reminded me of a solo performance by a young Steven Berkoff (I have been coming to the fringe for 50 years!). If you enjoy that style of intense, energetic, rather shouty, performance you’ll enjoy this.

★★★☆☆ Blind Devotion with JESUS, JANE, MOTHER & ME. Enjoyable, despite the flaws.
THE GOOD
* Well Written Narrative. The pompous, eloquent rhetoric suits the protagonist's character perfectly.
* Poetic Brilliance. A standout poetry segment, impeccably executed.
* Creative Parallel. The insightful juxtaposition of divinity and pop culture.
THE NOT SO GOOD
* Spoiler Alert. The room's desolate ambience prematurely foreshadows the inevitable ending.
* Show & Tell Imbalance. A deeper dive into visual storytelling through props and performance could have enhanced the engagement.

SEE THIS. One of the best plays I have seen in years. It takes a little while to warm up to Daniel - he has a bizarre accent and is one of those "weird kids" we all remember from school. Yet you are dragged into his universe and as you begin to put all the pieces together, your heart just breaks. The show builds and builds and builds in intensity - serious credit to Daniel's actor as he is captivating. It takes a lot to make me cry at a show, and I did. It was the first show I saw this Fringe (which may have been a mistake as my mum has said for every show since, "not as good as that first one"...). See it!
