What I liked

The flow of the story and the ending were well done and I was surprised. I like to be surprised, especially when it’s a positive surprise. :-)

What I didn't like

The energy could have been pulled back at the beginning. It started out too high, too strong, and it had hardly anywhere to go, so it was rough on all the actors to maintain the same high for 90 minutes.

My overall impression

SAVING CAIN is a well written production with a quite unusual ending. I am a secular humanist and I almost walked away after 15 minutes watching the show because I can’t stand religious zealots but I’m glad I stayed. The ending with the son reminded me of the movie TASTE OF CHERRY by Abbas Kiarostami. Thank you all for a fun 1 1/2 hours in the theater!
