I was invited to join some friends at this show and was not really sure what to expect. To say I was moved beyond measure, especially with the current situation in Afghanistan, would be an understatement. The ensemble cast delivered a beautiful and nuanced performance that really touched me. I was in tears by the end and was very moved by the moment of silence after the bow in honor of our the soldiers who lost their lives.

Stopped the YouTube feed after 10 minutes due to abysmal audio and video quality of the presentation. This was NOT a Virtual Performance, but a terrible attempt at showing a live performance with no audio or video production values. As long-time and frequent LA small theater goers, we were extremely disappointed....
