My overall impression
What a fabulous little play! I was really impressed with the writing in this show. Very savvy and always to the point. It’s nice when a writer doesn’t wander but stays on topic throughout the whole play. There’s no “fat” in the writing, the script is focused and lean. Each character has a valid point of view and each is given ample time to express their worldview in such a way as to seem completely justifiable. Hence the name of the show when these multiple valid points of view come into conflict with each other.
The acting was also very impressive. The actors had a very “lived in” quality. From what I understand, it had been workshopped for almost 2 years and you can feel the nuances in the performances because of that marinating process. It’s always satisfying when it feels like the words belong to the actors rather than being well delivered by them.
Definite thumbs up.
