What I liked

The intimacy between all three of the characters. The more comfortable they all were with each other, both emotionally and physically the more engrossed I became. Loved the sound design too!

What I didn't like

Nothing about the show. The Lounge is one of the better fringe venues (legit a/c, clean, comfortable seats, concessions, clean restrooms) but one of the restroom toilets would not flush. However I let a staff member know and they immediately fixed it. So actually pretty impressed!

My overall impression

Amazing writing! Awesome production overall! Dealing with the aftermath of wounded veterans and the wounds they inflict on their loved ones and in turn the wounds their loved ones inflict on them. A tough subject matter that is dealt with masterfully in this play. It doesn’t pull any punches but manages not to beat the audience over the head. A delicate balance done with deft hands!
