Reviews
This is 2 of America's best putting together one great evening of theatre or reading on the couch. I can't wait until someone does this show for me to watch. Shel Silverstein delivers a one man show that is specifically his style and yet far more adult with some deep themes to ponder about heaven, hell, God, the devil, mortality and so much more... The mamet one-act is a bet more subdued that some of his works but with his plays you know what you are getting.
