Review by RAYMOND QUIROLGICO

June 25, 2017 certified reviewer

What I liked

The selection of nearly finished and found works from a beloved recently deceased playwright seemed lovingly curated and were all convincingly performed, but the best work was the original piece at the end (appropriately titled the “Epilogue”) that gave the backstory for the project with serious conviction, honest emotion, and paid true sentimental tribute to love and talent that lives on.

What I didn't like

Some of the sly humor seemed to connect best for loyal fans who knew the playwright’s previous works, so (as a newbie to his catalog) I felt disconnected in parts that other audience members clearly appreciated much more.

My overall impression

Sentimental sweet smart scenes that snuck up with emotional wollop!
