Master director Jonathan Wilson is at the top of his game … His three actors deliver rich, nuanced and deeply thought-out performances.

RECOMMENDED … Jonathan Wilson’s direction drives the pacing to its unfortunate climax and inevitable confrontation.

This is a moving work that everyone should see as a reminder about injustice. The power of friendship and the destructive nature of institutional racism collide as Fugard puts a face on it in this landmark work. … Kudos to Timeline Theatre for mounting Fugard’s most autobiographical work. The performances due justice to the work’s powerful message.

For every minute of the 100-minute, dialogue heavy production, [Nate] Burger’s words, mannerisms and emotions are packed with the realism required to shatter the audience’s heart in tandem with Hally’s. … [the play] will provide intellectual food for thought long after the curtain drops.
