Superb acting from all 3 performers, with an exceptional performance from the actor playing Papa. Very emotional, keeps you pinned to your seat asking for more. Scenic design was fabulous, simple, yet so very real. Highly recommend you see this show!!Written on Jan 31 2011

Absolutely frightening in it's intensity. the play illicits an incredible performance from the lead actor in the role of Papa, a proud, independent traditional farmer who's never asked for, or needed help from anyone.Written on Jan 30 2011
The script does not shrink from ugly, ethical, life-end questions.
* Does one have the right to decide how one's final years will be spent, even if disabled, or demented?
* Does an adult child owe support, emotional, physical, or financial to a parent who may have been emotionally (or physically) abusive, and with whom ties have been long severed?
* Do un-related members of the community have a moral obligation to step in if they witness or suspect elder-abuse?
* Is elder abuse elder abuse if the person in question is strong, irrational, and has already taken violent action against those "offering help"?
Do not see the play if you cannot handle violence or heavy topics.
That said, none of the violence is gratuitous.
