I really enjoyed this show during previews, and I am sure it will only get better. Really nice venue, although the seats are a little tiny. The audience, however was exteremely obnoxious and innapropriate laughter was heard during a couple unexpected moments.
Fantastic play, really enjoyed the truth in the script, man's(and woman's) troubles are universal it seems, and the two actors, William Dennis Hurley and Morlan Higgins were really great. The supporting cast was great too, but Mr. Higgins was remarkable! His work was detailed and rich, fully formed and communicating at high speed. Also very natural. I loved him, and wondered how someone so different from myself could have the same feelings. What a wonderful playwright, my first experience with Conor McPherson, I had a great night at The Fountain. Thank you.
I took my boyfriend and he like it. He enjoyed the play the ending gave him a chill. He enjoyed the intimacy of the theater. The parking was a smooth experience. The guy in charge did an excellent job in getting everybody out. Considering that, cars block one and other in the parking lot. He also gave me good directions to the freeway.
