“The synthesis of the clever use of space, remarkable acting, and palpable emotion fostered a play so powerful that it made spending three hours in the cold worthwhile. Despite being based on an affair that occurred roughly during 40-30 B.C., the play spoke to its audience, connecting with anyone who has been through tumultuous relationships with lovers and friends.”
