    A wonderfully engaging story about grief as we connect with these women on a hilarious and moving journey. Well done.

    I loved this play. A dramedy about life and death, grief and loneliness, and what it means to be a missing person, it is one of the best plays I've read in a while. I don't want to reveal too much more about the plot, because I loved watching it unfold with all its twists and surprises, but you should read this play because it is wonderful. Darkly comedic and with four great roles for women, I would love to see this play staged.

    Immediately engrossing and wonderfully complex. This play explores the depths of grief in such an unusual and exciting way, and is chock full of warm hilarity. An edge-of-your-seat play where you fall immediately in love with the characters as they struggle to deal with the absurdity of life and death. Delightful, funny, and poignant, from beginning to end.
