WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Three women seeking a Guru's grace are caught in a fanatic's quest for glory. A man's wife and sister accidentally force him into the path of a distracted driver on the day of his father's funeral. Two women waiting for their adoptive child to be born discover a disturbing truth about the birth mother.

Provoking Yet Fun!
This play is definitely well-written and the production is very nicely executed, especially for a small off-off broadway show. I would say, attend this if youre interested in seeing a show with a fresh topic seen rarely in theater. Its thoughtfully written, definitely has some good humor, and very nicely performed not over-performed!. I didnt regret a penny or a moment spent watching this. Date night factor: High if youre actually interested in your date and want something fascinating to discuss!

This playwright is one to watch. He has an incredible gift for dialogue. Im looking forward to seeing what he does in the future.
