What I liked

Um, I liked it all. Most exciting awkwardness I’ve felt in a while!

What I didn't like

I’d just suggest continue workshopping this show. There are only things I had trouble following. Understanding earlier in the show why exactly these folks were brought together. Also, what keeps the characters there? Why don’t they walk out earlier, as this dinner is clearly going awry?!

My overall impression

I really loved this show! Yes, it’s controversial subject matter, but I’m my humble opinion, that is what theater is for! It pushes the boundaries! The creators and cast took an admirable risk! YES. I think we need more of that! The writing is fantastic! The acting wonderful! The palpable tension and emotion in the theater throughout the show made it an experience I’ll remember and talk about for a long time. Thank you for creating this show! I’d really encourage the writer/creators of this show to submit this script for potential future productions.
