SWEET
The cast of five elevate the emotional material with their raw, honest performances. Zoe Rae Calamar is especially devastating as the central couple’s sweet little girl, unable to comprehend the drama swirling
around her.

SWEET
Director Rebecca Hayes’ bare-bones production is blessed with two shattering lead performances, eliciting raw emotional power from this resonant blend of romantic tragedy and social-issue play.
Les Spindle – Backstage
SWEET
Despite its clunky construction, JP Miller’s Days Of Wine And Rose remains every bit as powerful and impactful as it was back in the black-and-white TV ‘50s. Trust me. It will leave you raw.

SWEET
This production gives us that love story unvarnished. And it is definitely worth a look.
