Audience Reviews:
"What an ingenious concept, masterfully developed through authentic writing and excellent acting. Very genuine, gripping, and relatable." -Peter Villerius
"This is a remarkable production, well-written, -acted and -directed. I woke up this morning with the play in my head, connected in important (to me...) ways to my own life and lives important to me, and I expect it'll stay with me for a long time. What more can I ask of a play?" -Jonathan Lundell
"A master class in character development and careful, gradual revelation of character moments." -David Rust
