THEA RIVERA certified reviewer June 11, 2017
The story had great humor and was also very touching. Subtle moments. Time to breathe but never dragging. Conversation twists and good flow of conversation with a lot of heart. Get ya right in those feels! These actors work great together and I sure hope they continue to work together in the future. ... full review
ZACHARY JOHNSON-DUNLOP certified reviewer June 11, 2017
I found this play engaging from the start. Schumachers sound design helps transport the audience into an old apartment waiting to be abandoned and the two actors make you want to stay there. The dynamic between the two characters ripples with years of unspoken understanding that is tested through out the show to great effect. A quiet storm of a piece that will keep you from looking away. ... full review
CAMI HAMILTON certified reviewer June 11, 2017
This production really stands out among Fringe shows for drama. Audience is drawn up into an intimate piece exploring a quiet crisis in the lives of two mobsters. Jack Stroud and Eric Blair have great chemistry, giving performances that are both masculine and vulnerable. Austin Schumaker envelopes them in a soundscape that heightens the reality of a high-rise apartment that must be vacated. Nathan Ondracek directs this 1991 work with perfect pacing; a great ear for the rhythm of conversations. Don't miss this!... full review

A moving portrait of two characters confronting mortality, loyalty and dependence. While the play itself is engaging and well-written, it really was the tender and fierce performances of both actors that touched me the most. Two nuanced performances from virtuoso actors, with diametrically opposed characters - one trying to speed into the future and one seeking refuge in the past. These characters charmed me, balancing organic comedic moments while grappling with betrayals of the body and time. Funny, heartbreaking and excellent. ... full review
