What I liked

The play itself is the highlight, but special mention of Ben Taylor’s performance as Bobby is needed. Great work.

What I didn't like

Had a hard time hearing some dialogue from the second row.

My overall impression

The themes Ryan explores are brutal, dark and hard to comprehend, but all too real. Great dialogue, deftly written and haunting. It’s a story that will stick with me for some time.

The directing was very well done. The use of an ensemble was excellent and made the scene transitions fly by and with purpose. So often transitions can be laborious as new sets are erected, but the way it was handled in this play was additive, as it should be. Haunting, in fact, which set the next scene up for greater success.
