REVIEWS:
"Nuanced... poignant, funny and specific."
Claudia Haas, New Play Exchange
"A terrific piece... a thorough assemblage of the immense variety of responses to grief."
Robyn Ginsburg Braverman, New Play Exchange
"A poetic piece full of infinite possibilities for casting and staging—simultaneously melancholy, human and hopeful. I can imagine that any high school student would be able to relate to these characters and build empathy through performance."
Aly Kantor, New Play Exchange
