Los Angeles Times - Highly Recommended

"...Director Brian McDonald has flawlessly cast his deeply insightful production (down to the differentiated black and white South African accents). Age-appropriate Daniel Stewart nails Hally’s mercurial mix of intellectual arrogance, sympathetic naiveté and aimlessness as the stress of the imminent return of his crippled, alcoholic father threatens Hally’s rare and touching friendship with black servants Sam (Anthony J. Haney) and Willie (Chris Erric Maddox). Attempting to overcome his sense of powerlessness by invoking his privileged status, Hally shamefully vents his frustrations on the “boys” during a rainy afternoon in his parents’ dingy restaurant (special credit to Thomas S. Giamario’s meticulous set)."
