We all have those 'what if?' experiences, where our lives could have taken a drastic turn if we had just done one small thing differently. All The Times I Could Have is a show all about 'what if'.
All The Times I Could Have is a piece of theatre so raw and genuine that it feels as if I am intruding on real events, despite surreal visual metaphors being in full effect.
The mind, depicted as a cabinet overflowing with memories represented by pieces of paper, is a very simple yet effective visualization of how someone stuck in the past with their regrets thinks and acts.
The show delves into how we bury regrets deep within ourselves, yet never fully escape the emotions tied to those memories. While the play occasionally feels a bit drawn out and repetitive toward the end, the leads' incredibly believable chemistry often makes it easy to forget they’re actors, pulling the audience into their struggles. They navigate dialogue that seamlessly shifts from heartbreaking to humorous with impressive ease.
There’s a distinctly Gen Z essence to All The Times I Could Have. From the characters’ dialogue to the challenges they face feel profoundly modern, timely, and relatable.
