| I had not heard about the play prior to attending, nor had I attended any other events at the Billie Hoiliday Theatre. What a fantastic way to kick off the holiday weekend!
In a word, the play was OUTSTANDING! I am an avid theatre goer, and firmly believe that this play can hold its own against the productions that are now on Boadway. Each character was well-casted and brought to his/her role a strong level of authenticity that kept the audience hanging on their every word. It was easy to relate to the characters and their experiences, and their ability to engage in a inspective dialogue about issues affecting race, gender, relationships, politics, self-respect, social status, identity awareness and culture, without being "preachy."
My only disappointment came twice in the production --- once, when we had to take intermission, and the other, when the play was over. I wanted more!
Bravo! To the entire cast, the producers, writers and directors. The stage was simple, yet effective and the powerful ending opened the door for further dialogue and discussion amongst friends.
This production is worth seeing again. Although next time, I would sit further away from the door leading into the theatre, as I found the the entry of late comers to be rather distracting. Thankfully, the actors (the professionals that they are) were able to ignore these distractions and stay in character. The performers should be further credited for their abitity to maintain the integrity of the scene and their character, even when some audience members failed to control their emotions by yelling aloud in response to the characters' actions. With the strong emotions (inlcuding laughter) that the play evoked, it's no wonder that some people just could not control themselves.
I look forward to seeing more from each of these cast members.
Regards from,

I thought the actors portrayed their characters well. The scenery was very well put together and you got the feeling that you were at the Hamptons. The audience were
singing along with the characters. It was not a sit and watch performance, but the audience got into the character, and the theatre was packed. It is a recommended show |

A great way to end the week!

| I knew very little about the play before attending, but was very pleased by the plot, characters and performance of the actors. The story was engaging, unfolded well through the climax, and ultimate conclusion. |

| The story plot was excellent. The moral of the story brillant. Desire continuous reminded many to stop being something that you are not. As a person from the City projects (Van Dyke to be exact), I could relate to the many people I grew up with who wish to forget where they are from. Eventually, your past will show up again and again.
I loved Desire. Please keep these excellent plays running. |

| The Desire had a great balance of comedy with thought provoking moments. The entire cast was excellent and the overall production was well done. The storyline was believable with just the right parts exagerated to really bring the points home.
It asked the right questions in terms of what are our responsibilities to those in our family who are less fortunate. |
