“Christian Ryan nearly steals the show with his witty and hysterical portrayal. This man’s rubber face is beyond comical.”
“Rik Walter is ethereal and wise.”
“Dana Watkins reaches into our hearts as the man inconsolable in his longing for what once, was a perfect love.”
THEATER PIZZAZZ

DC METRO THEATRE ARTS
"The outstanding Dana Watkins stars as the melancholic and romantic protagonist."
“Elizabeth Inghram [portrays Kate] with an appropriately seductive chill."
"Played with over-the-top self-indulgent gusto by Christian Ryan."
"Winningly captured by the terrific Charlotte Stoiber (her method-acting warm-up technique is another of the play’s comic highlights)."
A WORK UNFINISHING
“Dana Watkins brings an affable and awkward charm to a man teetering between rejuvenation and self-immolation.”
“Christian Ryan has the best lines in the show, and he delivers them with a light touch, finding the vulnerability under the bravado.”
“Charlotte Stoiber's Chrissy is engagingly earnest with her wide-eyed view that the world can't be nearly as bad as Jeremy seems to think.”
DIANDRA REVIEWS IT ALL
“Elizabeth Ingraham is fierce as Kate; drawing upon charisma and conniving to assure that you still like her, despite feeling an undercurrent of villainy.”
“Christian Ryan as Eddie is a complete breath of fresh air. He is the only character that everyone will laugh and revel in his definite, political incorrectness. Ryan plays him like the young, brash brother we all know.”
