| Any thoughts yet? I am a huge fan of Ferretnino's work and if it as good as her other plays, it should be another smart and exciting evening at the theatre. | |

| I have to say, it didn't feel truthful to me, and the whole thing felt pretty misshapen. There are some unbelievable plot manipulations, and at the end of the day the main thrust of the action--concerning "address fraud" to get a child into a (supposedly) better school, simply has little to do with anything. It seems completely unrelated to the whole premise of a girl in the aftermath of a tragedy. And the title metaphor is tacked on without any relevance. There is one beautiful passage at the end, delivered by Lynda Gravatt as an upstairs neighbor. That was the only moment I was truly engaged. |

| end, delivered by Lynda Gravatt as an upstairs neighbor. -And that went on foreeeever. Too long by half. The kids injected a lot of fun energy and zip. The address fraud issue was justified on Beck's part. Get the hell off the property. Of course it had nothing to do with the larger crisis! |
