What I liked

I only honestly had no idea where this play was going to end based on the opening. It starts out so funny that I didn’t foresee the depths that were hidden below the surface and would come bubbling up by the end to go to places that I did not foree, but felt inevitable when they happened. Truly great storytelling and performances across the board. Everyone gets their moment to shine and it all feels like it’s in service of the story.

What I didn't like

The opening explanation felt unnecessary, play goers have an imagination, let them use it.

My overall impression

What a fantastic show, continues the long tradition of great plays like Who’s Afraid of Virgin Woolf, August: Osage County, Disgrace etc. where a group gets together starts drinking too much and a shit storm of secrets ensues.
