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.

Slow, Too long, Inconsistent, Banal, Intriguing topic

See it if You like to support novice efforts based on provocative topics.

Don't see it if You enjoy professionally executed productions.

Confusing, Disappointing, Slow, Thought-provoking, Intense

See it if If you like character dramas or dialogue heavy pieces. It has an interesting premise with a unique presentation

Don't see it if Both scenes in each act retread the same ground. Felt redundant. There is no resolution to the conflict, which comes to a head at the end

Disappointing, Quirky

See it if you want to experience two perspectives of the same scene

Don't see it if you desire good writing, good acting, or a strong, interesting plot.

Cliched, Confusing, Slow, Thought-provoking, Relevant

See it if you can overlook mediocre acting and sometimes tedious script to find a few thought-provoking ideas.

Don't see it if you have no tolerance for over-thought and drawn out theatrics. While the idea of the show has promise, it was not ready for "prime time".

Banal, Confusing, Quirky

See it if you do not mind amateurish plays about personal relationships dealt with in a somewhat banal manner. OK acting.

Don't see it if you like profound subjects dealt with in though-provoking ways.

Disappointing, Excruciating, Slow, Confusing

See it if you want to see a show that is unlike any other show with a strange concept and intertwining arches.

Don't see it if you get uncomfortable with bad acting and strange sex scenes. Interesting Idea but poor execution.

Confusing, Disappointing, Amateur, Indulgent, Original

See it if You know someone in the play. Or want to see one good actress among a plethora of bad ones.

Don't see it if You like well acted plays, this is not one. Or if you don't like to be confused or bored. This was disappointing and melodramatic

Banal, Cliched, Disappointing, Slow, Thought-provoking

See it if You want different theater (strange location, strange at all, small).

Don't see it if You're not into amateur actors. But overweight secretary was good;)
