    A hardcore little masterpiece of theatrical metaphor. Each line leaves you hungry to hear the next, with countless opportunities for a performer to unearth layers of humor and poignance.

    Every scene in this powerhouse of a short two-hander is visceral and caustic, poetic and moving. The language and imagery are an incredible tag-team here. Above them both, a heart-wrenching dread permeates every single second. It all makes for a show that any audience is sure to walk away contemplating long after the performance. I look forward to one day being part of one.
