My overall impression
i thought the writing of this piece was fantastic, and truly some of these young’uns on the stage are gonna do some good things. The play was fast, quick witted, and at times it’s in the zone. The play perked UP when the irish guy came onstage… (not just cuz he was good looking and talented, easy folks!) but honestly, for me, when he came out, he brought the others up to his level. (this could have had more to do with general urgency, and some stunning gun shots, but it’s something to note). All in all, if Benjamin Schwartz is hoping to write for television, I think with a couple more of creations like these (which he may already have under his belt)… he’s got his in. And I surely look forward to seeing more of his creations and the actors as well. Oh, I also had a little thing for the whiney godfather-eque type dude. you know the guy. not al pacino in dog day afternoon, but the other one. If you wanna see that guy, alive, and as a young man, come to zip ties! There’s fun stuff in here. And I have a feeling Mr. Schwartz is prolific, and if that’s the case, there will be more of his work to see, which excites me.
