"Cody Dull's new play, Truce, which is having its premiere at Stage Left Productions, is a heartfelt and honest exploration of family, forgiveness, and the fragile threads that hold people together. While there are a few shortcomings in the script and this production, with a story that balances humor with emotional truth, Truce taps into something universal–our longing for connection and the need to make amends, especially in the face of impending loss–and does so with grace and authenticity....The play moves between raw confrontations and quiet moments of reflection as the characters grapple with their pasts and try to reshape their relationships. However, with seven characters, all of whom have secrets to reveal, and almost all of whom have loud emotional outbursts and confrontations, it is a bit long and gets a bit heavy handed at times, bordering on melodrama. Fortunately, what makes Truce overcome most of these issues is how it resists the urge to offer neat resolutions...While I had a few quibbles with the play and this production, playwright Cody Dull has much to be proud of in his original piece that is a moving and honest look at family and forgiveness." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
