Aprašymas

"... among the many virtues of Gus Edwards' charming two-character comedy, LOUIE AND OPHELIA, is the fact that it honors that complexity through its thoughtful insights into contemporary relationships. While serving up plenty of witty dialogue, Edwards' play never sacrifices emotional honesty for cheap laughs.

...Loosely positioned as a kind of black LOVE LETTERS, the snappy formula could easily lend itself to an ongoing run with rotating celebrity casts.

...a thoroughly convincing arc from their characters' first meeting in a bar to their conflicts over how-or if-they can fit their lives together. Though some of their issues talk to the context of an African American couple, both portraits are refreshingly free of caricature, and resonate with the passions and foibles of the human condition.

...a dignity to these characters' struggle that underscores the primary importance of personal integrity and responsibility in every relationship.

Philip Brandes, Los Angeles Times
