Show Showdown Review
“As beautifully rendered by Rivera, Mallory, and an excellent cast, there is nothing here that is anything less than fresh, honestly emotional, heartbreaking, and true.”
“Rivera’s rich, robust language says more in five minutes than many plays manage in fifty.”
“Scott Frank, as David, gives a vivid, subtle, brilliant performance as good as any I’ve seen in years.”
