Great acting

See it if Poignant character study about an older writer who's all alone, getting older & jumps at the chance to buddy up with a younger writer.

Don't see it if Prefer more fast-paced action, as the beauty is in the characters here. Could use a 10-15 minute trim to the 95 min runtime.

Great acting, Great staging, Dan lauria is worth seeing

See it if You enjoy a classic story. You LOVE theater like I do and appreciate a talented cast of 3.

Don't see it if You need an intermission. You like musicals or fast moving stories.

Absorbing, Great staging, Great acting, Slow

See it if you like dan lauria, are interested in the creative process and liked sleuth's focus on has-been writers v young, ambitious ones

Don't see it if you don't like 'small' dramas that are a bit confusing...

Absorbing, Funny, Intelligent, Enchanting, Slow

See it if You want to see a great new piece that speaks to the struggle of creating art and personal demons; incredible set, sound, lighting

Don't see it if You want a very well written script. Some was slow and clunky.

Entertaining, Slightly intense, Beautiful set / excellent projection, Ok book, Strong acting

See it if you'd enjoy 3 good performances. Book is slightly disjointed, but works itself out. Great set, smooth transitions, dazzling visual effects.

Don't see it if something light and fun is what you're looking for. Few chuckles here and there, but it's intense in parts, w/dementia as a recurring theme. Read more

Slow, Disappointing, Lackluster, talky

See it if you r a fan of Lauria who stars in a talky play about a blocked writer who gets help from a young writer that is slow in building interest

Don't see it if you are not interested in plays that build up to an interesting story line, but have a lot of fluff filling time rather than action.
