If…you expect more from the stage — confrontation, drama, empathy, rage — this is a play that will almost certainly astonish you…

The direction, by Wendy Franz, simultaneously brought out all the right aspects of their performances and got out of the way to give the writing and the acting the small knock they needed to travel to the audience.
