Finally, Olivia D. Dawson as Helen Hubbard quickly makes herself the audience favorite. That's partly due to the meatiness of the role but due even more to her impressive ability to chew everything but the scenery. As the stereotypical over-the-top obnoxious American tourist, Dawson is a pure delight. She's an almost overly indulgent slice of comic relief in the existential noir that surrounds her. She fully realizes the character with attention to every detail, from her boisterous singing to the distinctive heavy footfall of the American boldly bolstering into a foreign environment. This is superb stage acting. Her performance would be just as compelling if she were on an empty stage.
