For the wrasse fish, color is closely linked to gender, so much so that they change color throughout their lifetimes with their various life stages—and also when they actually change gender.

Runcie and Young??s direction fully complements the strength of their cast. The play is excellently paced, with varying moments of noisy dissension, tense silence, and light humor.
