This play is like a bullet that's hit you in the skull and is slowly burrowing its way towards your brain, hitting different receptors as it wiggles through. The tension is thick and the realization of both the subtle and unsubtle weaponry of familial abuse is superb. The central metaphor and its transformative (literally) effect on the characters is one of the best and simplest-yet-most-tangible expressions of how gaslighting derails our perceptions, challenging the audience to feel as unsteady as Alice while the world shifts beneath her feet.

I actually found myself breathing out an air of relief and my muscles finally relaxed when I got to the end of this play. High tension from beat one. Absolutely dark and real in a very surreal manner. It's a heartbreaking picture of the cycles of abuse.

A remarkable metaphor for abuse and a powerful exploration. After taking in a stray, we examine the very nature of abuse and gaslighting. Fantastic work.
