The most interesting experimental play I have ever seen. Paraphrasing Socrates as quoted in Plato: The followers of Mars (soldiers), when influenced by EROS, tear each other to shreds.

Intense at times but my attention kept drifting away. I tend to do that when the room is very warm. The plot needed more development. I'm also not sure I'd have cast the actor playing Charles as I had a problem with his protrayal. I was glad it was only 80 minutes.

I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I didn't really have much expectation beforehand, but I left with more discussions with my partner. It was a good sign!

This is a trite cliche ridden turnout. The playwright can't write meaningful dialogue and one of the actors -- in the role of Bobby can nonly remote. This play was designed to pick up free floating gay dollars and nothing more. The ending was formulaic hogwash.
