My overall impression

Another case of the title telling the story, as I left the theater with no clear understanding of what the play was about or what message the playwright was trying to convey.

Kudos to the cast, who did their best without any clear sense of direction, much like the soldiers in basic training in the Bill Murray film Stripes.

My biggest complaint was the constant repeating of the same song – through pre-show and during every scene changes. You can’t tell me that was the only period song you could find. This show needs work.
