Great to watch how the play has developed since the earlier versions. Many serious issues introduced. ... full review

The premise is interesting enough: a same-sex marriage to result in a green card; however, when comparing it to works with similar premises such as The Odd Couple or the ridiculously homophobic I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, the show already feels behind-the-times. If the end of the show had resulted in, say, a character's coming out, that would definitely improve matters, but the show is a story about immigration that ends with a very awkward position regarding homophobia and same-sex marriage. For example, the entire ploy to gain a green card is completely foiled because the two main characters refuse to kiss one another. In other words, they would rather risk prison time than kiss a dude. Unintentional as it may have been, the endin... full review

Last period, I got so impressed when the officers visited them. They were just friends but look like a family. ... full review

I really liked Yusuf's performance and the script. Yusuf, your emotional transitions and tempo are very harmonious. I would like to see more of your games and performance. Evan, you have such a beautiful energy. an energy that warms the soul. Your harmony with Yusuf was very nice. I really liked Alan's performance from the first scene to the end. Alan, you kept the energy of that game. Tiara, I like your harmony with Yusuf. You showed the emotional turmoil you went through very well. Martin, you gave a very good performance for your role. Alesha, you were the only misfit. This is not a play for you. it would be appropriate for you to play in drama. wait a lot, talk boring. Too bad you were in the last scene. Despit... full review
