Polite Conversations and Wine

What I liked

Writer Michael Perlmutter draws four compelling women, each carrying their own unspoken trauma and internalized assumptions — until it all comes spilling out like so much wine. Relationships waver and fragment, and the unseen specter of the men in their lives only pours diesel on the already-raging inferno inside. Deftly staged in a thrust arrangement, the piece flows back and forth in time with cinematic flair. The characters are brought to life through raw, grounded performances and each actress brings an unshakeable confidence that holds the audience fully engaged in every moment. A bold pour of truth, with notes of elegance and depth.

My overall impression

A sharply executed intimate character drama, anchored by superb performances from its cast of four.
