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.Written on Sep 22 2009

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.Written on Nov 02 2009
