"Sensitively directed by Jessica Holt, the six actors carefully navigate the play’s ups and downs...it’s a brilliant, absorbing, utterly human play that doesn’t skirt the issues. This profound work of art is worth seeing."
"Jessica Holt’s direction is perfectly in tune with each change in the emotional roller coaster ride that is playing on Magic’s three-sided stage."
-Theatreworld
" A finely nuanced production, in which even the scene changes are touching...poignant and heartbreaking"
"A gripping, heart-pounding, and emotionally arresting world premiere...[it] is live theatre at is most difficult, most impactful, most important best.
" Crisply directed"
