This play hit close to home: the gay straight friendship with unrequited crush, the body acceptance and insecurity, the spectrum of masculinity, and how it physicalizes inspiration in the face of faulty neurology.
But it's the story that took hold of my heart. There's a deep platonic love between Paul and Alonso that is enviable and dear. All of the relationships are as realistic and detailed as the 1460 titular sketches. And it truly captures the wrecking ball decision making people are capable of in their 20s.
It's as comfortable and familiar as it is frank and uncompromising.
