BWW Review: WET's Absurdist Political Thriller B Ticks on Too Long Before Exploding

I'll tell you, a lot of me checking my watch near the end and an audience not sure if the play was over since there were two possible endings and no curtain call. Such was the case with Washington Ensemble Theatre's current production of B, the absurdist political thriller from Guillermo Calderon.
