“
Two strangers bond in a gallery as they discuss art and science, life and loss. A thoughtful and very moving two-hander with some lovely comic moments. Extremely well-done! ”

Jack Levine honors all his characters with respect and grace, emphasizing their shared humanity, and that's really why we care so deeply about them. I read this play in one sitting last night, and find myself still thinking about it hours later. Highly recommended! ”
