What I liked

Both of the actors, Terry Ray and Kevin Scott Allen, give superbly delineated performances, and they age believably from scene to scene with changes in their characters deepest natures that make absolute sense. Not a false note from either actor.

What I didn't like

Move it to a theatre in Hollywood for an extended run as it deserves to be seen because its inspiring theme is a challenge to far to many cruel misconceptions.

My overall impression

Honest and moving. In this day of shock theater its daring to write an honest relationship play and Terry Ray has done it. He captures the confusion, self-loathing, emotional baggage and tenderness between two men in love. With no simple answers he shows different sides of masculinity with one man tender and shy the other bawdy and confrontational. Together they show as opposites but at a deeper level there is a need for caring that draws them back year after year in spite of their own bewilderment.
