  Just came home from this on opening night (with benefit of entire cast, director & playwright panel/audience-discussion afterward) & I encourage others to check it out. I liked the direction the playwright took & as usual, the acting is solid. You guys will enjoy I think (2 for 2 last couple evenings. Still also recommend yesterday's "Dark Play/Stories for boys"!) SO much great material & talent to see out there...enjoy yourself while supporting the arts, everyone involved works tirelessly!
