I enjoyed every minute of this play. The acting was great. Especially the lead role of the priest. Yet the ending was missing a point. If the theme was we loose everyone, its been done before many times and many ways. If it had another point its not evident in the play. The ending left me with no more then I came in with. If there was some other point I for one, dont get it. But see it, It will entertain you from start to the missing end. It needs a part two.

This is an excellent play. I think I enjoyed this production more than the Aurora's production as there seemed a lot more tension in this version. Excellent acting thought I may have made one casting change. Lovely set too.
