REVIEW: With ‘Your Best One,’ a sequel tries to stand on its own — 3.5/5 stars

The two plays, commissioned from playwright Meridith Friedman by Curious Theatre, are meant to be able to be viewed as standalone pieces. But is pretty clear from the get go that the emotional punch “Your Best One” is lessened without seeing “The Luckiest People.”
That isn’t to say “Your Best One” isn’t enjoyable. A quiet drama full of great acting, the show is a slow moving piece that is intently focused on its characters emotional growth. Friedman eschews heightened tension and crazy plot twists for a dose of realism and family drama.
