Haunting, sad, and beautifully human examination of grief and guilt in young adults. The recorder scream moment is devastating in that uniquely Peercy way.

There is something really special about a play about death, but, like, y'know- not really. Not the death of a close loved one, or a family member, just someone you kinda knew once. It's such an odd and liminal place to feel that grief and also not feel it and feel guilty for not feeling it and feel guilty if you feel it too much because, hey, you didn't really know them. This script gets at the very heart and soul of that. Beautifully written, of course, because you always get that from Peercy.

Muted says so much while the characters speak so little. We are granted but sparse poignant glimpses into the life (and afterlife) of the characters in this tight three-hander.
From the jump, the audience is primed to look for the story between the lines: in a glance, in a word unsaid, in a private moment. And the more you look, the more you are rewarded, as even in the order of these vignettes, you can see the play’s two halves reflect each other, hinged by a pivotal moment of self-reflection.
A sure-fire winner in 40 minutes
