What I liked

I loved the relationships between the women ,and the use of the space was very well utilized .
The playwright Chris Hass has a definite bright future and a style all his own ..
His style is gritty and edgy yet witty and memorable . Loved the cast, especially the focused and quiet strength of Bridget Avildsen ,whose presence on stage was powerful even when just listening.

What I didn't like

Respect from the audience
By not eating the props or coming in late .

My overall impression

An empty theatre space came alive for a moment in time ..
We were in a basement evesdropping on 3 young woman and a 4th older woman who was the self proclaimed leader of the 4.
All masking vulnerability yet hardened by life.
They shared a history of a troubled past and soon to be foreboding future.
The synergy between the actors and the intelligent rapid dialouge spilling out of their mouths ,like a heavy rain ,was sensational. The play not only figuratively ,but literally packs a wallop, that we didn’t see coming ..
It was sensational 👏 as was the cast!!
Very O’Henry like.
Chris Haas is a name to remember .
