Review: The play was captivating from start to finish. The characters were so well portrayed and so completely believable and engrossing. I couldn’t believe how many lines the actors had memorized, and how perfectly delivered they were, even in previews. The story was good, building steadily to a stunning climax, the staging of which was truly a moment of great theater. I found myself in tears at the end, and I thought to myself this is a performance I want to give a standing ovation for, and I don’t give standing ovations easily. Everyone around me must have felt the same way, as the audience rose unanimously and applauded. I’ve never seen an audience do that at MTC, in many years of attending. What a great play!
