This one is pretty intense. There are a few surprises along the way, even if the plot is a seemingly basic family drama. There are some heartbreaking moments, and its a very readable play. It clips along at a decent pace and the writing makes it feel more of a novella than a play.

Enjoyed this play, but there's only one role for me: 37-year-old Little Charles... I might have liked it more if it were a meatier role or if the entire cast weren't in their fifties... Oh well, I'll probably enjoy seeing this on a local stage from the audience.

It has very interesting characters with a lot of good drama and comedy. I think I might like to audition for it in ~20 years...
