“[Michael] Shaw always finds the right moments for his actors to shine and in this production [they] are damn near Sirius in intensity.”

Kay Kudukis of BroadwayWorld.com writes, [Dennis] Renard and [Jacob Alden] Roa are both very thoughtful and skilled actors, and with [Michael] Shaw’s direction the audience is perched like a fly on the wall as they build their relationship while struggling to hold onto the families that mean so much to them.

“Jimmy Cuomo’s set appears as a simple, somewhat boring office space that doubles for whatever it needs to be at the moment. There is a surprising set change almost near the end that kinda took my breath away with its ingenuity. As always, [Clark] Dugger’s sound design was quite enjoyable.

“Technicals are solid and never get in the way of what is happening on the stage. This is not about flashy sets, or lights – the play is very much the thing. Scene changes are swift repositionings in near blackouts; all well designed by Rick Bluhm. Very nice teamwork.

“It’s very dramatic with some occasional comedic relief, a well-crafted play that manages to punch you in the sore spots while showing you the meaning of love. It’s not romantic love, it is much bigger than that. And although there is great sadness in the play, Hunter gives us a hopeful ending; that what they endured may have just been worth it in the long run.”
