What I liked

The acting—- neither shied away from the harsh & ugly sides of their characters. Acting and directing choices left my friend and I debating the characters long after the show.

What I didn't like

The directing left the character’s backs to us for bits and pieces. It was frustrating but sometimes left me feeling the characters’ loneliness… so maybe it was just effective.

My overall impression

This show was incredibly well done. It was played real and raw, the only way to honestly deal with this subject matter. I loved the choice of stage, the intimate directing, and especially the acting of both leads.
