Curiously insubstantial play, considering its fiery subject matter, aided mightily by some fine acting ...

See it if you don't want to miss the memorable characterizations offered by the actors, especially Con Morgan, Brenda Meaney & Jesse Pennington.

Don't see it if you do not want to see a play that would have been better off left undiscovered.
