RE:A small fire
A well-acted, well staged, thought-provoking drama which examines an unusual case of sensory deprivation within a family relationship. The cast are excellent in their very different roles and the evolution of the play is well-paced and coherent. This is a good example of how to put together concise and sharp playwriting without padding it out with irrelevance or adding over-long endings.
This is definitely one of the best off-Broadway productions for some time.

Moreover, their union is further strained by the upcoming nuptials of their daughter, Jenny (Celia Keenan-Bolger), as Emily does not approve of the groom.
