I read this while at work, it's the show that's currently running at our theatre. I loved it -- I love the characters' depth, I love the dialogue, and I love the ending.

2.5 stars. I can see why everyone else likes it, and sure it was a good look at relationships and recovery and all sorts of deep stuff but I just didn't find it enjoyable

maybe I would've liked it better if I had seen the show or listened to the audio but I read it and didn't love it.

There were some decent moments in this, and the performances were great. The issue I have with this is mostly the fact that by not being able to see this, you lose part of the story, but that's what you get when it's an audio recording of an actual performance. I think I might like it more once I actually get a copy of the script and can sit and read it, so I know what's going on more.

Performance done in Oklahoma City (of all places) to several sold out houses. An amazingly raw, fierce script with complex and interesting characters.
