Gaveston, let me know what you think. Personally, I thought this piece was a middling event, but all faults disappear for the majority of Act II, which is a masterclass in acting by the phenomenal Miss Rachad. And, because of that thrilling 30 minutes, it is simply unmissable.

I saw it this past Saturday and overall I thought it was phenomenal. The set was a character in itself, beautifully done. It feel like a one woman show (act 2) and a good chunk of act one. Phylicia Rashad gave a performance of a lifetime in my opinion (especially in act 2) WOW, blown away. From her extremely long monologues she gives so much into, and to her acting chops that make you laugh, cry, and really feel for her. The play overall written by the screenwriter of "Moonlight" was a great night at the theatre. Never boring, never questionable. This is something not to miss. Thinking about going again.
