Saw the show thanks to my friend Gabe who works there, and was excited to see my friend Nikki in the show. Alas, the play didn't grab me. It was interesting and all, but the story was predictable, stereotypical. Tortured soul who never got along with his dad, puts life in front of everything to get away, only to realize after his father's death what it all meant. I would have been ok with the play had it not been for the über cliché finale with an alcohol-induced vision/conversation with the dead father where all is forgiven and an impulse to return to religion.
The individual performances, for the most part, were quite interesting. It was the writing that left me cold.
