Zachariah Munning has a natural sweetness that is unappreciated by his family. They long ago decided he was just lazy and dim. Zack’s calculating mother and cold-blooded brother are scheming to take advantage of a rich relative who is coming to visit. They believe her wealth might solve the problem of their failing business and are ready to sacrifice Zack for their own aims.
Spoiler alert, Zack comes out on top. “There is something here about the importance of kindness and the underdog winning that makes the audience exude sighs of contentment…It’s a preposterous happy-ever-after tale, but one that should melt the most cynical heart,” says Lyn Gardner of The Guardian.

A very endearing production with an excellent cast. The story could easily feel dated or not interesting in today's world, but kudos for cast and direction in presenting a charming and very entertaining tale.
Zack is a timid gentleman, dismissed by his cynical family, who ultimately reveals the power of kindness in a world driven by greed & appearances. Exceptionally well-performed, the play blends sharp humor, thoughtful craft, striking stage design, & relevance to our times.
Heartwarming story - actors were amazing! The story and every single actor in this play really left a big impression on me. Bravo!
