REVIEWS

" a moving comic drama Mr. Pollono is a deft practitioner of the sort of twist-in-the-tale narratives that are mostly associated with short-story writers of earlier eras, like O. Henry and W. Somerset Maugham unfolds as a counterpoint between bright, youthful expectations and the gray resignation of characters who in their 30s have already slid into middle age. The play's title starts to acquire a deep-blue aura of predestination" ~ The New York Times

"[A] gritty New Hampshire drama ... povides further theatrical evidence that the traumatic past doesn't die but rather moves undergrounda truthful psychological study of characters trying to figure out how to coexist with their grievances.
