Plays that leave me wanting a long conversation before heading home.
The fragile quality of the memories came through without making the characters feel distant. A small, deeply affecting evening. I would be curious to see a different production.
I liked the restraint in the family scenes. The production left space for uncertainty rather than explaining every feeling. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
