    Saw this play read on Tiny Theatre Grab Bag Theatre. Parenting is one thing that can bring such love and joy to you and it's sad that even in this day and age we allow society's religious rules dictate our love and feelings toward our own children. Heartbreaking and heartfelt and we can only hope that one day religion sees it's final days where they instill hatred into the "souls" of their parishioners and let everyone just shine as who they are

    The cadence of back-and-forth in this short drama is sharp. Statement, response, counter-response that reveal a lot about these 50-something characters, and perhaps not who an audience might expect. Realistic drama, told well.

    Wow! What an interesting tableau Cathro set's up here. Weirdly appropriate, two people have the much needed conversation they didn't know they needed to have, and under a twisted set of circumstances. What should have never worked as meaningful dialogue because of the state the two people start this play in, instead takes on additional gravitas due to the honesty displayed. This is moving and thoughtful.
