Good!! Not as tight of writing, but I still cried. Wholesome. Sweet. As described, a gift!

Sadly, once again I have not cottoned to yet another Ruhl play, so should perhaps just give up on her. She never seems to engage me in any fashion, and this one is woefully both underdeveloped and yet heavy-handed, with much of the dialogue stilted and leading nowhere. As a director, I'd be hard pressed to even attempt to stage this, as most of it is just 5 people sitting and talking with very little in the way of action until the very end.
