"Emilio Williams’s new play offers an odd, smart and often
surprising look at contemporary romantic yearning.
(...) set in Chicago (and
Lake Geneva), the play liberally references local hot spots, from Yoshi’s to
the long-lost Belmont Rocks, with a playful self-referentiality.
(...) this is
a surprising and pleading look at both the limitations of committed love and
the painful gap between fantasy and reality. With sophisticated lighting and
set design, smooth transitions, and strong actors who comfortably bare their
bodies, it’s easy to admire this
production, which, in a presentation of marital woes, ever so skillfully avoids
the minefield of clichés around gay and straight coupling."
