Male vulnerability is a subject that few playwrights - including myself (yes! I admit) - are willing (or have even a cursory interest) to explore. Thankfully, we have the estimable Steven G. Martin to offer us a fleeting glimpse into that rabbit hole with "Exhale". I laughed aloud. And felt the piercing sting of recognition and even pathos. Nicely done!

Six struggling and isolated men are gradually led to moments of connection and unguarded intimacy. We are taken on quite a journey in this brief, powerful vignette.

What a beautiful set of moments, a collection of vulnerabilities and insecurities that find release and relief. A small slice of hope in a challenging world, deftly executed by Steven G. Martin for maximum effect.
