Don't see it if You are uncomfortable with difficult sexual themes

Also Wallace takes on a truly taboo subject – a situation involving genetic sexual attraction and then layers on top of it a set of circumstances that further test our ability to understand that attraction. Strong performances by the two female leads – which included Ann Dowd - this is one of those plays that will keep you thinking and questioning for a long time to come – it’s fair to say that a lot of people had Wikipedia open at the intermission.... Read more Read less
