"Good Grief"

KenderTheater (‪@KenderTheater‬)

Ngozi Anyanwu's "Good Grief" at the Vineyard Theatre did not work for me.  The writing is sub-par and relies too much on narration.  the play's limited dramatic arc makes its 90 minute running time seem much longer.  Its attempts at humor are sitcom-like and the play's sharp tonal shifts that seem more forced than organic.  Some of the audience members around me seemed to like this production, but I could not wait for it to end.
