"...They wind up in bed together, and it's all uphill from there, an unplanned pregnancy being one major point of contention. It probably goes without saying that a setup this contrived requires a pair of actors who can finesse a strong sense of conviction against a lingering attraction.

In this revival from the Cuckoo's Theater Project, directed by Denise Smolarek, the chemistry between the leads is palpable and convincing, restrained and focused at all the right moments, lending credence to the notion that love and politics are never black and white."
