Recenzii

There is a feeling of raw truth about this play that is constantly absorbing.
A funny, heartwarming and powerful story of hope and loss - as an elderly couple plan their last days on earth
A play that seeks to tug at your heartstrings and not overburden you with guilt and scenes of familial dysfunction
Kautzman has written a perfectly good family play, with palpable echoes of O'Neill.
Witty, insightful.
An original insight into dementia.
The story is moving and the questions Kautzman asks of death and aging are resounding.
[Kautzman] tackles serious themes without ever being heavy-handed or too earnest.
