| 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... | |
