This play combines smart writing, deftly nuanced acting and disciplined direction. Its spare staging is augmented by excellent tech effects and uncannily complementary music — both original underscore and a touch of the familiar American songbook.
The story is both compelling in its own right and effective as a reflection in microcosm of two timely — and not coincidentally related — sets of issues: namely, the maldistribution of wealth and the tenuous delivery of health care in our society.
