view more less of this reviewWonderful production. We had a fabulous time.
star this review starred report as inappropriateWater Tower theatre in Addison is a sophisticated, well designed venue. The stage was absolutely fabulous, especially entertaining to watch the story unfold from each room in the house. I found the play to be disturbing which can only mean the actors did a very good job at portraying the characters.
star this review starred report as inappropriateI enjoyed the performance; the storyline was good (a bit long at 3.5 hrs. with 2 intermissions) and well acted. I wanted to see it because it won the Pulitzer Award and because I saw his other play in town, "Superior Donuts." It was good as well. I sat in the back row, so I can say all the seats in the house are good. Also nice to know--there is free parking on either side of the theater and places to eat within walking distance.
