This is a well written play indeed. I'm a sucker for 70's-set New York pieces, so that hooked me right away, and I loved the references to the music, culture, etc. Beyond that, the characters are just engagingly written; you quickly come to care for all of them, and you definitely want to see what's going to be in store for them. And then the ending is a real gut punch, but it's an understandable ending for the story that Meyer-Jackman has created here. Going to be very excited to see how this work continues to develop!
