Review by VICTOR SOTOMAYOR

What I liked

I liked the honeymoon stage, how the characters show their best side and begin bonding, while slowly but surely Bobbie (played wonderfully by Ashley Fountain) begins to disappear in the relationship.
The water starts to boil and we inevitably witness the breakup. Dialogue is sharp, quick and fast paced, as if condensing a whole relationship within a 40 minute span.

What I didn't like

Having the lights out as they prepare for the scene scene made it harder for my pupils to dilate and adjust to the lights going from off to bright to even brighter.

My overall impression

An intimate look inside a nasty breakup. I felt I was a fly on the wall, watching the characters unfold on stage.
