There is such a tangible sense of tension throughout this play, coming from almost every direction imaginable—romantic, sexual, professional, ethical! Structurally, I loved how the temperature of each act matched the season in which it took place, taking us on a cyclical, satisfying journey from new beginnings to growth and change. Marc holds his own as a strong, specific protagonist in a world of "bad drivers," but I so appreciated the hopeful ending and the promise of a brighter, wiser future!

The plot of this one kept me guessing! The things that I thought were going to happen never happened, and the things that DID happen caught me by surprise. I enjoyed the complexity of the relationships and all the opportunities for second chances.

I enjoyed listening in recently to a reading of this piece. I appreciated Marc's quest for meaning in his life through literature and education, his desire to do the right thing and, like the allusions to The Great Gatsby, his capacity for hope. Williams quickly establishes the tension between his well-drawn characters which builds steadily until it reaches its inevitable conclusion. Williams knows how to craft a play so there are no stitches in sight. Bravo, playwright.
