What I liked

I loved the “partnerships” between all of the cast, I could see their troubled histories with each other right away and loved the conflict. The laughs were plenty and I appreciated that the story and objectives were clear from the beginning. All of the actors were seasoned pros but I absolutely loved Debra Sullivan’s portrayal of Shirley!

What I didn't like

I understand you can’t change the script but I thought the very end could’ve ended a bit sooner, it was the only part that I felt dragged a tad but that’s not the actors fault at all. It’s just the screenplay and also just my personal opinion. I still thought it was wonderful!

My overall impression

Immediately this play hits you like a basketball to the face with energy, tension and fantastic actors! Nothing but nonstop conflict and lots of laughs mixed with some blood and a ticking time bomb! Really impressed with these actors, the dialog was heavy and they handled it with sharp skills.
