This short play is wonderfully worked out to go much further than I expected it to go, with dialogue that really moves and turns. Plummer does a great job with the details like when Mary is knitting and when she's not - and as a knitter myself, it all makes so much sense! There is also a wistfulness, a sense of regret that propels Mary toward what she really wants, and I am absolutely hoping that this time around she'll get every last bit of it!
