"Director Ken Sawyer has taken some liberties with the original script – and so has added layers at the already subtle and fascinating study of two people asked to figure out a way to avoid nuclear proliferation...The injection of a female into the mix has added some intriguing new dynamics....Let’s not forget another change which director Ken Sawyer made to the original script.

"The current production at Actors Co-Op has been skillfully directed by Ken Sawyer... The audience comes to feel they are nearly seated on the same bench as the negotiators. Sawyer has given his talented duo a lot of movement and the simple setting presents several different views so the action never becomes static."
