Has anyone seen it? It's selling well, but I haven't heard a word.

I saw it last week, it was very good! The characters all really have great arcs and I found myself thinking about that throughout the show and after. It gets a little meta at points which makes it much more interesting than your first reaction when it begins. I thought Michael Stahl-David was a standout with a haunting/comedic role.

Unfortunately I did not like it at all. I thought that many of the actors were very "green" but I mostly had a problem with the script. The story line had potential but just seemed poorly written. There are numerous monologues that are meant to show what is going on inside a character's head at a given moment. However, it's such a simple story that you understand exactly what they're thinking through the normal scenes. The monologues were overkill and I could have done without them. But that would make the whole show about 45 minutes. Also, a few of the characters didn't really seem to have a purpose

Love Second Stage, but not their best choice of material in my opinion.

I won't spoil it, but there is an interaction with Amazon during the play that is one of the most far-fetched scenes I've ever seen. Not remotely realistic.
