I was completely blown away. It was something I was so looking forward to and I had high expectations with a cast like this. It was even better than I expected. It was the best acting I've ever seen. You could tell that the cast was fully 'connected' to the characters they played. It was brilliant. Note to Yasen: the final scene where it was just you on stage, I have no words for it. You were incredible. For me, it was Mr. Frank who was standing there, not an actor. It's too bad it was the matinee show so not all of the cast showed up cause of the upcoming evening show. Thanks for Claire and Carolyn for showing up after all. It was def worth a 9 hour flight. Jolanda We went to see the matinee show this last Sat. I was completely blown away.

Thank you for bringing such focus and care to your role. As my wife observed, "Mr. Peyankov was a quiet powerhouse." And as to the cast, she said, "I sensed no actor's ego on that stage." I cannot say it better. Thank you to the director and the entire cast for giving us not a show, but art. And thank you again, Mr. Peyankov. I shall never forget your performance, in particular the closing monologue. It was perfect.
