What I liked

This was a great, thought-provoking show. I loved the introduction to the original Clifford Odets play; that context was really interesting. The vignettes were really powerful and made me think. To be honest, they were a little depressing, but in a good way (is that possible? I think it is). The actors were all very good, but the actor who played the senator was a true standout.

What I didn't like

I might have shifted the order of the vignettes. They were all very good but in the end, there is a call to action — so I’d want the MOST upsetting, most powerful vignette to be the last one I see.

My overall impression

Important, thought-provoking, and very well done
