I saw it last week and immensely enjoyed seeing "live" theatre being performed in a legit theatre. The actors socially distance themselves from one another throughout, but I thought the "cinematography" was incredibly thoughtful, at times creating the illusion of intimacy. There were no issues with the quality/streaming technology (so long as you have Zoom and a good internet connection). The performances were excellent, and it was fun to see Foy and Smith back together. I recommend it. If you haven't already, you may want to read Ben Brantley's review.

... and concur with nyc23’s assessment. The play is on the slight side, but Foy and Smith handle it masterfully, and the “socially distanced” direction is brilliant.

I was disappointed. A banal script and except for the stars' prettiness little visual interest until the last 3 or 4 minutes. Yes, the 2-camera effect sometimes brought an illusion of intimacy but I was annoyed that we never got a full stage picture. And the sound for this radio play came out as if from a tinny old transmitter...A worthy project and committed actors, but I could have skipped this one...
