My overall impression

I really enjoyed this show overall, with a lot of strong, edgy comedy balancing out incredibly dark and tricky moral issues. The actors handle the subject matter in a way I found totally convincing, jumping between comedic and dramatic lines in ways that should be hard but that they make seem easy, and the script is handled elegantly and gives the excellent performers a lot of chances to shine. The only major issue I have is with the transitions, which as of the show I saw absolutely need to be tightened up. There’s no reason for them to be as long as they are, and they kill some of the hard, terrific work that the actors are doing onstage. Overall, I recommend the show very highly, and think it’s very well-done.
