Nicolette Norgaard and Tim Hoffman take on the charming duo of Lena and James in The Brink of. The two lend more than just their acting chops. The two also wrote the band’s songs together. Norgaard as Lena is absolutely charming. As someone who is very much a wallflower herself, I loved seeing Lena fully come out of her shell with James. Then ultimately finding her power within herself. Her chemistry with James (Hoffman) is fantastic. There is a palpable sense of unreciprocated longing between Lena and James infuses each evocative lyric and shared memory from their revealed history.
