“Superb actor Jonathan Nichols-Navarro has layers and layers of unspoken depth and truthfulness in his performance as her husband David. Nichols–Navarro's work is a thing of beautiful and rare authenticity.”

“Playing Anne’s husband David is the Juilliard-trained Jonathan Nichols-Navarro who humanely realizes a man unflaggingly devoted to his wife. David’s humor, understanding, and ability to keep himself regulated serves as an example for how a spouse or significant other should act when their beloved is tasked with the tallest order of their lives. Nichols-Navarro is endearing when he speaks of how much he adores Walsh’s Anne, whom he lovingly refers to as “monster,” and puts his mark on a powerful exchange when he explains to his onstage wife why his David had to, for his own emotional health, relay Anne’s diagnosis to their daughter.”
“As jovial and loving husband, David, Jonathan Nichols-Navarro delivers a warm and poignant performance. Walsh and Nichols-Navarro have the terrific chemistry and easy, prickly banter of a couple that has been together for decades. These two seasoned actors are top tier throughout and utterly compelling in a pivotal scene that is revelatory.”
