What I liked
The Intellectual Level of the Allegory, and the Excellent Acting of the Cast.
What I didn't like
Contemporary costuming makes it harder to get into the historical spirit of the piece. It was a little long, having made its points long before the ending.
My overall impression
Eight hostile people hanging around a bar… Well, that could lead anywhere (and has) but when The Bartender turns out to be The Devil you immediately have a good idea where you’re headed! Fortunately, Ani Marderosian has written a smart cogent allegory and got an excellent cast (3 fem, 5 male) to play “real life” characters ranging from Biblical days to the American Revolution. (Spoiler Alert!) They’re all Traitors of one sort or another, so if you’ve ever wondered what Delilah and Benedict Arnold might have to say to each other this is a pretty good guess—-and it even comes to a Happy Ending, sort of!
