For actors, a wealth of scene and monologue material is to be found. This is such a script that reinforces the importance that an actor does not use the excuse of (in character), "I want to leave the room. I don't want to be here." Once the actor explores why these characters stick around does the script continue to resonate.

As for audiences, it may at first seem like a whirlwind of emotions or a rollercoaster relationship, among other possible interpretations. I saw it as a love story, and the characters confront truths about themselves and each other that they must decide to accept or run away from.
