* * * * * "...a powerful production that will leave few unmoved...the production slowly builds a picture of a needy human being trying to cope with the unfathomable in the best way she can...If this all sound like searing stuff, it is."

"Kate Twa's script uses the accident as a focal point for what is mostly a coming-of-age story about the girl's older sister, and her script is full of vivid images....Terri-Lyn Storey performs the play's multiple characters with nuanced grace."

"One of the biggest challenges for any actor is being cast in a one-person show....A few can do it brilliantly and that is exactly what the audience experienced when Terri-Lyn Storey brought her one women show ,Torched, to Bare Bones stage on Wednesday night...Storey is a joy to watch as she flows from character to character in a seamless tapestry..."

"...it's amazing the way humour and hope can illuminate the darker corners of human experience. Torched is, by turns, brave, funny and touching...it's a powerful and compelling 60 minutes of theatre and well worth your time."

"I was completely won over by the remarkable performer, Terri-Lyn Storey. Writer Kate Twa manages to depict how a happy, middle-class family falls apart following the horrific event without ever exploiting that event. Storey even manages to earn a few hard-won laughs. What are you waiting for? Go."

* * * * " An impressive, aggressively charismatic performance from Terri-Lyn Storey in this one-woman show about a high school student almost burnt to death by a chemistry experiment. From stark material, Storey and writer Kate Twa create an affecting and unexpectedly humorous tale. "

“Once again Terri-Lyn Storey delivers the goods in what is probably the solidest drama at this year's Fringe...Storey flickers between fully formed and flawed characters like the dancing squares of a disco globe, A peautiful piece."

* * * * 1/2 "...this is a play not to be missed, both for the tightly written script by Kate Twa and for the sharp, moving performance of Vancouver's Terri-Lyn Storey...It's an amazing work, that goes through a complex gamut of emotions."
