Found it to be a total, basic bore. I was tired anyway, but I kept nodding off which never happens to me at shows. Didn't really have anything to say that was new or groundbreaking.

I kinda liked it and certainly was not bored. Not perfect, not terrible.

I saw this last night, and I pretty much agree with Hogan. I didn't think the writing was particularly good. It felt somewhat amateurish to me. A lot of the dialogue felt forced and unauthentic. I think the way the dialogue was written was a deliberate choice - he has a very particular voice as a writer, but I just didn't love it. 

Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching it, and was definitely not bored. I found the story to be charming, and I liked the characters and their interactions. Some of the more serious elements of the play, though perhaps not as developed as they could be, were interesting enough. The play is also perfectly cast. The actors do a great job with what they're given, particularly Jonathan Hadary and 

Probably not something that will stay with me for very long, but I'm glad I saw it.
