This play is so elegant and simple in its naturalism, with shades of Amy Herzog or early Annie Baker -- a play about big people trapped in small lives, always at odds with their thunderous emotions stifled by the quiet, repressive, sometimes absurd cadences of forgotten small-town life. A great piece for actors, and a deft, compelling story of how big and small trauma live in our bones.
