I enjoyed this. Race, even. The play is brilliant.

Great story, challenging things to think about, didn't see the end coming, and liked that.Guigis is such a brilliant drawer of character.

I enjoyed that the character weren't one-sided; each seemed to subtly or even sub-consciously negotiate for their needs. There is some in Las Vegas, but nothing like New York, where you can have your choice of probably 100 or more venues on a given night. Although there was something about this play that worked.
