EYE WEEKLY Review:

A one-woman show about the struggles of love impeded by laws restricting immigration and same-sex marriage. Susan Jeremy is fun to watch and is occasionally hilarious — her portrayal of Brazilian Fabiana is especially mesmerizing and the buffoonish mucho-macho-gay husband-of-convenience Jeremy is two-dimensional fun. But the cartoonish elements that evoke moments of absurd joy don't quite deliver the note of emotional resonance that would sell the underlying heartache the situation calls for.
