The structure and cast of "What You Did Say" grabs your attention. Where do you go after a break-up? To friends and therapists. Everyone in the play- the two "ex's" and their confidantes- has input here, sometimes in unison, and separately. The difficult start of processing of a break-up is the focal point of this believable and poignant play.

This is an urgent exploration of a relationship torn apart by unexpressed expectations. Juxtaposing their painful recollections enables a build to a moment of real clarity for each. George and Hal are compellingly drawn and the play gives full voice to their separate journeys. This is a skillfully crafted and thoroughly engaging work.

This little gem is a terrific example of how structure can serve and enhance content. George and Hal's relationship failed in large part because they couldn't communicate what they expected of one another. And Heyman doesn't allow them to do so here either. Instead, they simultaneously air their grievances, self-justifications, and misunderstandings to third parties on a split stage. Their dialogues overlap, interject, and conjoin in such a way as to grab the audience's attention and hold it to the end. It's a brilliant piece of work.
