Overview
- The play officially opened on Tuesday, June 2, and runs at Playwrights Horizons through June 21 in a limited engagement.
- Stephen Spinella, Jeorge Bennett Watson and Ken Barnett lead the three‑hander and reviewers uniformly singled out their performances as the production’s strongest asset.
- Dustin Wills directs and also designed the set, while Rodrigo Muñoz, Barbara Samuels and Leah Gelpe were praised for costume, lighting and sound that give the production a cinematic feel.
- Critics agree the script struggles in the second act, citing an unfocused structure and underwritten turns that leave key motivations and revelations muddled.
- Set in a remote Arizona town during 1992–94, the play uses the AIDS‑era context and the lack of same‑sex marriage protections to explain the characters’ decisions and gives the piece real-world stakes that reviewers say lift its central premise.
