What I liked

The show has clearly been well-directed. It’s a polished show that knows when to push and when to let the audience breathe. I really appreciated the moments Dukakis broke the 4th wall and spoke the audience. I think the show would benefit from 1 or 2 more moments of that.

What I didn't like

This particular physical space creates some sight-line challenges for the audience from time to time but the actors use a lot of the space and they use it well.

My overall impression

What a beautiful performance from both Michael Dukakis and Jose Edwardo Moreno. The two of them worked together so well. We were on the edge of our seats for most of the show, often holding our breath.
