What I liked

The rapid fire back and forth dialogue keeps both the tension and the hilarity high!

What I didn't like

The play is being marketed as Reservoir Dogs Meets The Three Stooges, but from my perspective the father/son character dynamic here owes more to Abbott and Costello than The Stooges, much to my delight!

My overall impression

An absurdist farce about a crew of sad sack two time loser low level criminals who are perpetually in over their head, and find that whenever they try to execute a plan to save themselves from the mess they’re in, it inevitably results in them being in even hotter water!
