“Director David Mealor’s production is a masterpiece, letting Murray-Smith’s writing live and breathe at its own, sparse, deeply introspective, gentle pace. In Renato Musolino, is an actor who can, with patient precision and gentle calm, develop and grow Andy as a character who is as charming as he is hopeful, vain, remorseful and ultimately, lost.” - David O’Brien, The Barefoot Review
