This was a remarkable play acted by two amazing women. The concept of the play was so unique...one woman makes a decision which accidentally kills her son, the other makes a decision to intentionally kill her son. The skill with which these actors drew you into their lives was remarkable. It made a huge impact on my husband and me, and we talked about it all the way home!

This drama was too dependent on dialogue for my taste— but it is very well written with good acting.
