What I liked

I liked everything about this play. It is hard to look at how violence and trauma reduces our sentient nature to raw expressions of our most basic instincts. I think the writing is brave and unflinching. The production is excellent and the acting is great.

What I didn't like

I need to think about it more, however, at this time I have no ideas for improvement.

My overall impression

This play is powerful and beautifully written. What an unflinching examination of our animal nature as expressed through the lens of three people coping with unendurable trauma and pain. It beautifully exposes the fragility and raw vulnerability of men and women coping with the stress of war and it’s aftermath. Truly powerful and devastating.
