A lovely two-hander for older actors. The plot starts in media res and the frank, abrupt jump into the characters propels the tension of the play until the conclusion when all becomes clear. Until then, we're on a back and forth sharing of personal, private and dramatic stories ("One time I...") of two people getting to really know --and re-know-- each other. Easy to stage, natural dialogue. Bravo, playwright.

Very interesting characters whose relationship is so intimate and yet we never quite understand it, and they never really do either. I loved watching them talk around each other and never really listen, and how naturally the conflict arises from that. A simple basis for a character-driven play which was enticing to read.

The characters in this show are compelling and real. I saw a reading of this and was intrigued the whole time. I particularly liked the development of Sonia's journey: a woman who has undergone trauma, but who is still strong, smart, and funny. I look forward to seeing more of Richard Lyons Conlon's work.
