Review by THOMAS BOURGEOIS

June 23, 2015 certified reviewer

My overall impression

This play combines smart writing, deftly nuanced acting and disciplined direction. Its spare staging is augmented by excellent tech effects and uncannily complementary music — both original underscore and a touch of the familiar American songbook.

The story is both compelling in its own right and effective as a reflection in microcosm of two timely — and not coincidentally related — sets of issues: namely, the maldistribution of wealth and the tenuous delivery of health care in our society.
