What I liked

Loved the title and the effect of having the audience provide the lighting with flashlights. Kept everybody focused

What I didn't like

While it was a good premise, The story seemed to lack focus… cold have been integrated a little tighter and not so “on the nose”

My overall impression

A good premise by a writer who shows promise, but everything could have been explored in a less “on the nose” way. Telling the audience what they are supposed to get out of the piece at the end should not have been necessary… The audience should have wanted to discuss that among themselves after the play had ended… realizing how that title worked in the over-all concept.
