A singularly beautiful piece of work. Fairchild's writing evokes a deeply lived life of heartbreak, humor, and resolve. Brilliantly realized performances all around. Would call out Darrett Sanders, in particular, whose portrayal of a deeply troubled yet unforgivable father is absolutely enthralling to watch.... full review

Really beautiful writing. If sam shepard were a woman. Great actors. The first scene was more powerful than the 2nd. Actors really handling the language with grace and strength and beauty. Loved the simple and transformative set and lights. I felt transported. Looking forward to more work from this writer. ... full review

Two shows remaining! Talking Blues is a must-see that demands future reprisals! Fairchild's words are intoxicating and addictive- striking the human chord in its sweet-spot. The actors masterfully expose their open wounds with passion, humor, and pathos. ... full review
