What I liked

I loved this show because I’m still thinking and talking about it a week later. I can’t shake this story! I was drawn in immediately by the set and life onstage even before the first line was spoken. Throughout the performance, I went through the gambit of emotions from raucous laughter to devastatingly heartbreaking sadness to fiery fury. I wasn’t able to predict where this story would lead me, but I was “in” for wherever that ride would take me.

What I didn't like

I wouldn’t change a thing other than I think this should be required theatrical viewing.

My overall impression

This was one of the most profound and poignant pieces of art I’ve seen in Los Angeles and frankly, in my life. Beautiful words from Jiggs Burgess put into the skilled and masterful hands of actors like Craig Taggart and Shaw Jones with insightful direction by Spencer Frankeberger is a recipe for brilliance.
