This play is an example of random vignettes where you could remove, rearrange any scene etc. with no impact to overall meaning. Very little through-story here. One thing often overlooked in this town - a PC subject alone is not enough; the play actually has to be good! Also, way too long. Could cut in half and lose nothing. Some good acting here, but material weak.
