Great acting. Definitly a good enjoyment for a tuesday night especially with a fun night life walking distance. Great play all the way through up until the end. The ending didn't give enough closure to such a great build up. I would still recommend this play.

I felt this was a fast paced well acted piece. Considering the size of the area the actors had to work with, they were able to skillfully manipulate their staging and create a believable clearing in which they were able to tell their story. I really enjoyed watching the characters develop and deal with their anxiety between each other and their situation. I'm glad I chose to see this play.
