What I liked

I was truly impressed with the actors ability to perform and sustain such a high level of emotion for nearly the entire show. The casting was well done and performed by talented individuals. Hope to see more of them.
Really enjoyed and look forward to seeing more of Nicholas Buda’s work

What I didn't like

I would have liked to know a little more about the Mom to have better understanding why things had turned out as they did. However, for being a short play, it left the imagination to fill in the blanks…which sometimes makes for a great conversation after the show.

My overall impression

For only being 45 minutes, the raw emotions and dis function was immediately evident. As the characters continued to reveal themselves and their experiences the anger and rage was clear, but you could still see the deep underlying love these sisters had for one another. They wanted to be understood by each other and maybe even receive acknowledgment which would give them validation. The story left me wanting to know more (..in a good way). I felt left to interpret what actually happened to their brother and Duke’s involvement. Was a genuinely carrying out his friends wish or did he too believe the folklore.
