“Kill Me Now” – The Teaching Confessions of an Undercover Creative
Reviewed by Jen Dawson
The vibe of Kill Me Now: The Teaching Confessions of an Undercover Creative is raw.
Tammy McLeod-Casey has taught wayward youth on both sides of the Atlantic for the last 25 years, and has channeled her experiences into a high-energy triple-threat one-woman show.
Consider it a “yes” if you like physical performances, are fans of unvarnished truths (viewer discretion advised), appreciate vulnerability and feel it’s a privilege to be part of an artist’s development. If you’re a teacher, make that a double-yes.
Being undercooked is part of this play’s charm. But there are brave moments when the rawness is transformative, when Tammy is no longer remembering steps or reciting lines but embodying her experience as she relives traumatic classroom moments. Suddenly we’re not bums in seats, but witnesses to art as healer, art as liberator, art as compass.
This is what only Fringe can offer. An unvetted, unfiltered peek into another’s life that can change us if we let it.
