Lee R. Lawing: Puzzle Night

The saying goes, if it's not in your own backyard, there's no reason to go out looking for it. Puzzle Night gives us two people who question if they are wasting their time staying in and just puzzling, but in Berry's hands, we see layer upon layer stripped away as the play goes on and we become invested in the puzzle, in Archie and Jessica and in the outcome as we find ourselves holding our breath waiting for it to come.
