REVIEWS
‘Absolutely heartrending. An elderly man, Archie, lies in a hospital bed. It’s unclear why he’s there, especially to him (I suspect dementia). He’s alone, his only relative an estranged sister, his only acquaintances detached individuals on the other end of the phone. A beautifully crafted monologue filled with humor that finishes with a firm punch to the gut. Devastating.’ – Craig Houk on New Play Exchange
