This is a solo-show where we are presented with an origami workshop full of toddlers and paper. The reasons for our protagonist (Emma Judge) being in this situation are explained but somewhat weak, and I found myself thinking how artistically niche such a workshop is. 

Judge gamely enters into the pursuit of portraying the chaos/sweetness before her and does well with the uneven material.  The repetitive childish jokes seem to be unavoidable (with such material), but her physical comedy and use of expressions to show her growing stress and mental reflections of being in such a dynamic and poignant space should be praised—she really manages to subtly portray a character’s emotional decline.
