Receiving a primo production at the careful hands of director Dexter Bullard, Brett Neveu's quiet new Chicago-based play about a family-run North Side gas station taking its last gasp is small and unassuming in its ambitions. But the freshness of this staging and the caliber of work Neveu's script brings out of this company of artists show us the playwright is touching a nerve that makes his collaborators feel alive. All of Neveu's characters are passive observers, which can be frustrating, but his assessment of 9-to-5 North Side life feels like the work of a writer who's lived it.—CP
