As a new parent, nothing is more fragile or difficult than putting a toddler to bed. The strain shows on these parents in subtle, understated ways that keep the audience leaning forward in their seats the entire time. "Bedtime" is a touching, tension-filled two-hander that gives actors so much to work with.

Intimate, careful, and emotionally honest, Bedtime turns a quiet post-parenting moment into a layered marital confrontation. Hendricks handles a sensitive conflict with nuance, letting both characters feel human, flawed, and deeply worth caring about.

What starts out as a fairly normal night of putting a toddler down for bed takes a troubling, intimate turn. What’s so effective about the conflict is that while the parents are at odds, no one is truly wrong. Hendricks deals with a sensitive and important subject with care and complexity. Audiences will empathize with these characters and care about them well after the play is over.
