About the Show

Told from two perspectives with distinct narratives, Hanging Cow Productions' new play examines a couple's relationship and the aftermath of a secret revealed.

Though newly engaged couple Nate and Gemini share an intense love for each other, they are also nervous about their impending nuptials, but for different reasons. On the eve of Nate's 30th birthday during a dinner party, a complicated secret is revealed. Not only must Gemini and Nate navigate through their hopes, fears, and insecurities, but their close friends must, too. Everyone is forced to take an honest and raw look at what they really want and who they really are, ultimately learning that perception is completely subjective, ever-changing, and unique for each individual.

Cliched, Slow, Relevant

See it if You like relationship dramas, good supporting actors

Don't see it if Compelling story

Entertaining, Thought-provoking, Resonant, Confusing

See it if Interesting look at relationships. Good monologues and I left talking about the show and analyzing it. Good acting. Left me thinking.

Don't see it if A little confusing and slow at times.

Confusing, Indulgent, Slow, Banal, Disappointing

See it if you are interested in productions with developmental potential. The cast works hard with an uneven, sometimes incomprehensible script.

Don't see it if the title leads you to expect a magic show. There is no magic here on any level. The author's salacious concepts fail to be sexy or amusing.

Somewhat clever, although confusing, interesting

See it if you enjoy actors learning their craft. Had potential to be quite good.

Don't see it if ..........read the Playbill to gain a perspective of the setting to better understand what is going on.

Banal, Cliched, Disappointing, Indulgent, Ambitious

See it if you can appreciate actors and a writer in NYC trying to do theater on a shoe string, & if you can cut them some slack for at least trying.

Don't see it if if you're expecting professionally polished writing, professional looking sets, if you can't separate acting skills from the weak script.

Ambitious, Confusing, Disappointing, Slow

See it if You want to support actors starting out. Second half picks up slightly & ending is a surprise.

Don't see it if You expect Bway quality show. Bad theatre & acoustics. Not actors fault, they are learning craft. Great potential for them in future.

Ambitious, Slow, Unclear, Flat, Wordy

See it if You haven't seen Rashomon & don't mind sitting through an unfocused, unclear, at times lecturing, rumination on individual truth & reality.

Don't see it if You bore easily; or, if seated House Left, want a clear view of actors completely blocked by a prop computer screen for all of Act 1.

Banal, Disappointing, Insipid, Indulgent, Confusing

See it if You feel like seeing a short play & do what I did for the 1st time (had to happen sometime!), & leave at intermission. Horrible & pointless

Don't see it if You'll get ticked off at the playwright/producer/director person behind this for ruining any prospective theatergoers experience of theater
