See it if you like big performances and big themes. Plays that address case scenerios and some dark humor.

Direction by Victoria Pérez could have better negotiated the script transitions and emotional shaping of the piece; however, script, director and actors, as well as lighting design by Miguel Valderrama and sound design by Michael Hernandez all come together to create a moving ending which comes with no answers but does provide a sense of closure. Bloom hasn’t fully flowered in this incarnation, but perhaps more will be revealed in future productions.
