What I liked

The way this moved me, as two souls strip each other naked to find that moment when they are just each other. Not a fun process. But very moving one, that filled me with deja vu too many times to count.

What I didn't like

Started off a little slow, a little pedantic.

My overall impression

In the moment when all other things are stripped away, we face ourselves—what we do, what we feel, how we react. THIS is the substance of this marvelous two person play taking place after the end of the world. What happened? We don’t know. It doesn’t matter what happened to the world. This world is now a man and woman who are supposed to love each other.
