Great acting, Cliched, Entertaining

See it if Well-delineated characters with good chemistry. Some genuine good moments of interaction.

Entertaining, Funny, Intelligent, Original, Profound

See it if you think about the old questions "why are we here" but with an unusual twist-- you have an unusual sense of humor

Don't see it if You're not into beckett or willing to go with an absurdist plot or lack thereof

Theatre is Easy
August 16th, 2016

"Sometimes, it’s unclear if the difficulty the trio appears to have connecting is always intentional. Occasionally, the script falters on the side of pastiche and becomes foggy in its own philosophizing, but it’s a hearty go at a twenty-something’s coming to terms with their own mortality...'Each Brought Some Silences' oftentimes becomes an enigma in and of itself—ironic considering it is all meant to answer questions, not create more of them."
