Wonderful Sondheim gem and Perkins can sing!!
11 March 2024
Heard about this while watching Sondheim interviews. Was not aware this existed and was delighted to find it on the tube. The songs are wonderful and well sung by the two leads. While I knew she could sing, Perkins was an absolute revelation!! The plot was interesting and I agree with the other reviewers that this is very much a twilight zone style episode. The other actors were wonderful as well - delighted to discover they were all NY stage actors. The setting and props were very well done. The lighting worked to create the atmosphere!

The ending, while you have an inkling, is so much more emotional than expected!!

These shows are examples of what TV could be if producers and networks had the courage to give actual stories a try!! Realize that audiences aren't stupid and would appreciate being challenged with something like this!!
