Enjoyed very much, not what I was expecting so it threw me. Organized an outing with 6 others and they all thought it was terrific. The acting was superb and it was exciting to see recognizable talent in such a small venue. I'd recommend this to others to go and see, but don't (like me) be expecting the mother to be a sickly old senior. She's got LOTS more living to do. It's her kids I'd be worried about...Written on Aug 30 2010

The acting was great, everybody, and specially the mother. The set disign, for the small stage was excellent. The story, althuogh, it was sad and hopeless, but interesting, and the mother performance, make it even more interesting.Written on May 17 2010

One of the best plays and productions I've seen in LA in many years. Terrific cast, featuring Anne Gee Byrd, in the performance of the year, as the mother. Very realistic characters with credible dialogue.Written on Aug 27 2010

Description
Rogue Machine presents the first play of its third season. What starts as an innocent lunch between a aging mother and her two adult children degenerates into a fierce game of cat-and-mouse. This leads to a confession that will radically upset the lives of the entire family. This “‘High Noon’ of Familial Confrontation” (Variety) stars Tim Bagley (TV’s Monk, Will and Grace and Southland), Anne Gee Byrd (The Mentalist, Medium and Southland) Roxanne Hart (Hung, Grey’s Anatomy, and Chicago Hope), and Lisa Rothschiller.
