Trying to find parking less than 10 minutes before the show starts is never a good idea. Arriving late to a show is also not a good move. Especially when the show is less than an hour long.
Because of that, we missed the start of the show. None the less, the script was such that by the end of the play we understood enough of the story to appreciate the power of it.
