Intense, moving production. Excellent acting. The mother's character, especially, rang very true to me (unfortunately). Great theatre and great folks on staff.

Mother and somewhat estranged daughter join to go identify the body of son/brother. An extraordinary
theatre experience--great play (although not for those who might not enjoy the family battles--both physical and mental), great cast, great set, great
props, lights, sound, costumes, great direction. Too bad there were empty seats in the theatre--it should have been standing room only!

Well acted play. Be warned that it's very depressing.
