What I liked

The actors were perfectly cast. It wasn’t too expositional and every line left me intrigued. My attention tends to wane quickly but this was so well written, I hung on every word.

What I didn't like

The makeup could be done a little bit better to show that Tennesse was beat up. The boy’s clothes could be more worn and a little less torn or perhaps torn. It seemed just a little bit too much stereotypical homeless costume. This is a very minor criticism for improvement though.

My overall impression

This was a wonderful imagination of an encounter between Tennesse Williams and a young struggling boy. I felt instantly connected to both characters and drawn into their world. This is one of the best plays I have ever seen.
