"sensational direction"

​

Fortunately, we’ve got director extraordinaire Nick DeGruccio on hand to work his magic with an often mind-bending staging that cleverly blurs the lines between couples, so that what we end up experiencing is not three distinct pairings but three interwoven permutations of the same relationship, and having all six characters interacting with each other by the end of The End Of It is particularly stunning.

Coates is aided immeasurably by the sure-handed, inventive direction of Nick DeGruccio. He stages the overlapping couples fluidly, fully utilizing François-Pierre Couture’s wonderful, deceptively simple set.

DeGruccio also successfully achieves a balance between each set of three characters—they feel very much like the same person but still emerge as individuals.  The acting is excellent
