What I liked

I really liked the creative way that they incorporated the text convos throughout the story, making you constantly wonder who the messenger was on the other end. Definitely an unexpected reveal at the end.
I also enjoyed the flashback scenes, and how they showed the earlier events that led to the chaos.

What I didn't like

Not being an expert in playwrights myself, I don’t feel that I have any place to critique the creations of creatives. They had a story to tell, and they accomplished that goal. Let them cook.

My overall impression

WOOOOOOOOFFFF! This one definitely had me locked in. It’s a real blend of moments & situations that range from dark, to funny, to awkward, to crushing. A really sharp & poignant reminder that every choice has a consequence, and the juice isn’t always worth the squeeze. Fantastic writing, and the cast absolutely understood the assignment — and aced it.
Go and check this one out!
