"Quiet naturalism is extremely rare in improv, where pauses tend to generate panic and zany oddballs are a dime a dozen. That's what makes this two-person show performed by Lindsey Smith and Farrell Walsh feel so refreshing. On the night I attended, an audience suggestion of "flight" prompted a sweet, subtle, and surprisingly poignant tale about a pair of newlyweds spending the holidays with the wife's alcoholic mother.The characterizations were credible, the performances understated yet assured, and the back-and-forth was blessedly free of sweat and strain. I only regretted the 45-minute running timeI could've stayed with these two a lot longer." -Zac Thompson, Chicago
