This is much darker than I thought it would be, but satire seemed to be lost within social commentary.Written on Dec 07 2009

This was by far one of the strangest plays I have ever seen. It was dark, something my friends and I didn't quite expect. As the other review states, I will say that the acting was quite good. The story, however, leaves much to be desired. There were parts that were funny and other parts that were just too bizarre for words. If you read the write-up in the program about the writer, you will realize the similarities to his own very sad life. We noticed that when people left the theatre, conversation was strangely absent. Normally, people are talking excitedly about the play all the way out of the theatre. I don't think the patrons could figure out what they just saw. The only good thing I can say about it is it was the subject of our conversation for the whole ride home. We were trying to figure out why someone would write (and eventually make into a play) a story that was so sad and bizarre.Written on Nov 18 2009

The acting, in particular the lead character, was excellent. Unfortunately the play left us feeling like it was written for a high school drama club, choppy and uneven with a totally out of context, unbelievable ending.Written on Nov 23 2009
