A fascinating play as we discover what each of these couples isgoing through and the choices they are needing to make. Riveting and well done.

This thrilling play is both lyrical and blunt, with a plot that will keep you guessing from scene to scene. The two couples, a married couple in their fifties with well-traveled grudges and resentment at their mediocrity, skate on top of a thin ice of cordiality. The other, their son and his sexy, impulsive girlfriend, have no one to reign them in, which becomes tragic. The older couple ultimately has to decide if they will finally 'parent' their adult child, even if the consequences shake their status quo off its axis. Great strong female roles!

There is so much energy, drama, heat, sexy (yes, as a noun), mind-games, and fire going on, it's a super-fun read and will make a fabulous production! Love that red bikini! Anderson has verve and flair!
