masterful performances
Please go and see this play, I absolutely promise you that you will find yourself deeply caring about the characters.

Unfortunately, there is one character that is introduced, where we are given hints and clues to their true nature, but is ultimately left unresolved. In that way, it felt more like the first chapter of a much larger story, but that says something about the writing if you want to find out more. Some of the monologues go on for a while, and could probably be pruned, but ultimately you're getti...
