A very powerful play with great witty writing, strong acting and fantastic use of sound and space. With two simultaneous stories that feed off each other, you can follow one couple, the other couple or both and find your own story in this show. ... full review

It's like a really beautiful poetry. The show has this movement to it that feels a bit like water. Your just kind of gliding with them and there run on top of each other. It is unique and powerful and made me feel all the feelings.... full review

Go see this show, if you can get in. The acting and direction are legit. The writing, so generous and human. It snuck in through the cracks and found its way into my heart. I keep thinking about it. ... full review
