Cherry, Cherry, Lemon

Beautiful, yet verbose poetry scattered this piece. The show is more a collection of stories and monologues than an actual play. There really is no over-arching character journey for either of the leads. At times the portrayals sparkle and at other times are weak, but I feel it is the fault of the weighty words that the actors had to recite. The guitar music was a nice touch and added sweetness to the piece. I was disappointed to see the characters (through dialogue) never really listened to each other much because this is a series of monologues. I rate this one a 2 out of 5.
