    I was instantly sucked in to this play by the well crafted dialogue, it's sharp, crisp and would be a joy for any actor to speak. The writer is skilled at presenting the play's humorous and darker moments with a gentle brush that allows the play's extreme mood swings to never feel forced or contrived. The play lives in the nostalgia of youth mixed with the coming to terms with life's ultimate end. This play is highly relatable while challenging the audience to confront major ethical choices.
