What I liked

The acting and the writing! And Rachel’s movement was so beautiful, too.

What I didn't like

Sometimes it was difficult to see action on the ground because the front row blocks view of it, but that wasn’t too often!

My overall impression

Rachel and Ron do a beautiful job of creating an elegant portrait with just themselves in this gem of a piece. I found myself totally drawn into the story— Rachel is deeply captivating, carrying us with her emotional journey through joy, shock, sorrow, confusion and longing, while Ron maintains a steady foil as the wise stranger— I believe my favorite part was his direct address where we saw his personality more, and I love how they chose to end it. It is a beautiful and poignant 30 minutes that is a great show to fit into your viewing schedule if you can— and at that length, I KNOW you can and you should!
