What I liked

Amberlee Colson is stunning and terrific in this play, which works very well in the small theater environment as the audience is absorbed into the conversations of the two characters reliving their past and confronting their present. The writing is superb and Amberlee skillfully delivers her character Molly with grace and range. Tyler is true to his character as a person who has messed up his life, but is willing to discuss it if prodded—and Amberlee as Molly delivers the prodding with realism and emotion.

What I didn't like

Unfortunately, Tyler allows his voice to drop off to the point where he is inaudible on occasion. This causes the audience to strain to hear him from time to time.

My overall impression

A very well-written dramatic play, with a few very comedic moments sprinkled into some very heavy moments in the dialogue of two characters re-uniting 15+ years after a brief summer moment of romance. It explores the different paths they took and the chemistry they had so long ago. Very well acted on a sparce stage. Very compelling throughout.
