    Ruyle makes a melting pot out of a cabin then turns it into a pot-boiler. The ingredients are the four characters, a weekend getaway, a potential hookup, a good-samaritan gesture, and a lost-and-wounded authority. It's a hodgepodge but it works like a magic trick, because everyone gets suspicious of everyone else just by their being themselves. Opposites attract, flip sides align. It's remarkable thematic work for looking at our country today and considering the values we hold in order to coexist. The dialogue never lets up, the character work follows through, and the lost-in-translation provides laughs. Wonderful contemporary piece.
