The staging, by director Aileen Wen McGroddy is a masterful lesson in minimalism.

...

Park’s facial expressions are perfect and doll-like. Her Eliza has an intensity of focus that is unnerving and just this side of human.

This thoughtful, provoking piece, despite the darkness of the message, left me with a feeling of awe of what theater can do.

As Eliza, Seoyoung Park is a coquettish marvel, fully inhabiting a character who is supremely confident in who she is and what she wants, right off the bat. She’s also perfectly attuned to the rhythms of Song’s dialog, the cadences of her rapid-fire delivery achieving a delightful musicality as her book-burning hobby expands into an all encompassing obsession. Her glee comes through to the audience even as it increasingly shuts Tom out of her life.

With striking design work and deft delivery of the play’s unconventional dialogue, TUTA’s production offers an intriguing yet confounding experience that puts up literal and figurative barriers between characters and audience.

...

Park develops an especially strong rapport with the audience, her wry delivery belied by a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

- Chicago Tribune -

the performances in the small TUTA space draw us into the void along with the characters.

...

It's a tricky piece to pull off tonally, but Frei and Park keep the dialogue taut and engaging, even as they mostly don't move from their stools..

- Chicago Reader -

this entire production is an example of elegant stage craft achieved through the effort of the entire crew and company that will be appreciated by those willing to take a risk to enjoy something a little out of the ordinary.
