REVIEWS:

"Explicit and occasionally uncomfortable, but for all the right reasons... aches with an unspoken loneliness."

 The New York Times

"A densely layered and intelligent meditation on how weird human sexuality can be. It takes a close up look at something most of us still struggle to articulate."

 The Saturday Paper

"Raw and ambitious! Barron packs a metric ton of confounding dichotomies and paradoxes into a single piece of rebel theater."

 Theatremania
