I saw it yesterday afternoon. And I felt like I was watching a Holocaust play, reminding us to never forget what happened thirty years ago. And me, as a "Holocaust" survivor, was not pleased to be reminded of something I already can't forget, and all those friends/victims of that plague that I personally lost, who I'll never forget. And I said to myself "This was written for my sister in Lansing, Michigan, to sit through. Not ME!" So I left the theatre a little angry. And no, I don't think it's written all that well. But ... as I made my way down Eighth Avenue to catch my cross town bus, I found I had to turn away from the oncoming crowds of people and pretend to look in those crumby shop windows. Because I was crying. CRYING! It's not a great play. It's an important play.
