Caught this production tonight at the new home of the Irish Rep on 22nd St.  What a pleasant surprise that I found this story very compelling. For a play in early previews, it was in excellent shape.  The acting was so real in the portrayal of human emotions without being sappy or too melodramatic.  Another quality production from the Irish Rep..

How about the new space?

Space is very nice.  Nice size stage, comfortable new seats, great lighting as well.  There is a kind of odd placement of open fire valves and pipes across the ceiling that may be for asthetics  but I wasn't sure.  

I felt kind of bad for he ushers who had to repeat to every patron the time of the show (incorrectly, I might add), no intermission and please turn off your cell phones.  I have to say, it worked since no ones cell was heard for a change.  Unfortunately, the personal reminder wouldn't work in a theater of 1,000 people.
