It's wildly uneven and doesn't make a lot of sense, but there's no denying how much enjoyment it provides.

The play itself is a dichotomy. While written by Noel Coward in 1932, and no longer as controversial as it was in its day, the material is still timely and the themes are not dated.
BWW Reviews: THE QUALITY OF LIFE Rouses Pure, Heartfelt Emotion in Richmond

The four veteran performers in Jane Anderson's compelling drama THE QUALITY OF LIFE unpack and deliver such raw emotion that audience members feel as if they are privileged visitors peeking into the lives of four individuals who are struggling with the acceptance of death and loss, rather than spectators of a play.
