Underneath the fine is a tremendous pain and loss for a couple to try to get through revealed in such a powerful way. Excellent work.

What makes IN DREAMS such a fascinating, magical domestic play is that it is so intimate and elusive at the same time. There is a fishbowl familiarity to Mom and Dad's repartee, Mom's eyeing the audience as she's also taking in Dad, a vastness to what the dialogue suggests about their marriage and marriage in general as all the borders come down. I love Dad's line: "But she doesn't ever quite look at me -- I mean, she does, but it's -- " And Mom's reply, "It's fine." Life is long, but this play is beautiful and brief. And wonderful!

Some great lines and lots of space within which to play and explore the ambiguities of the text. Thought-provoking and evocative, it lends itself to a range of performances and interpretations as well as subtle interactions between the characters that should resonate with an audience.
