Acting was excellent, and the actors were well-cast. The play itself contained a nice surprise and was well-plotted, if a bit implausible under closer inspection.

Good story with some interesting plots twists and timely subject matter. Top notch performances by all four actors. I love the intimacy of the theater.

The acting was very good -- the actors (including one excellent understudy) truly did inhabit their characters -- but the writing was just okay for me. No true nostalgia, little emotional intimacy, and the plot rolled off the rails in the end.

We LOVED this play! Well cast, superbly acted, brilliantly directed.
Off beat and quirky theatre did not detract - rather enhanced - the evening. Bravo!
