"...The premise itself is solid — however, signs do remain that the play probably hasn’t changed enough since 2011. Putting two amnesiacs in a locked room is difficult to pace well; the characters slow the plot by asking every question the audience is thinking out loud without knowing the answer. The dialogue’s syntax and the clumsy balancing of periodic laughs with stilted trauma-dumping could both use a second pass to make the characters believable and compelling. There are several moments that seem awkwardly inserted in the larger work, like the nightmare sequence featuring ghostly hands pressed against the door window, and the plot’s resolution relies on a somewhat overdone plot twist, albeit with a slightly new spin on it."
