Guards at the Taj — The Price of Possibility
"Athyal and Gagoomal are at their best when they are exploring possibilities, when they feel free to run with whatever exciting thoughts come into their heads. This trait survives in spite of the despair and anguish that dominate the later parts of the play. In fact, Weissman uses (perhaps even creates) quiet moments to echo and amplify these expressions of their camaraderie. It is unusual to find this kind of interaction in a black comedy; places where Joseph probes the gentle sides of masculinity as well as the intertwined power of beauty and terror.”
-David Cruz
