This is a brilliant and engrossing play that uses the story of a newly married couple in the 1850s to explore how the institution of slavery corrupted the souls of those who owned slaves. It doesn't flinch from exploring how the family and the home were sites of violence during slavery but does so sensitively and compellingly. I highly recommend it and would love to see a full production.

I love how incredibly thoroughly researched this play feels! And, in speaking with the playwright, it's clear that she consumed a lot of literature and really lived in the world of this play for a long time before and while writing. Considering the content, that is an amazing feat of emotional labor.
I highly recommend reading this play and I would love to see it produced!

This is about as good as two-handers get. Uncomfortably relevant, impeccably researched, perfectly shaped. I can absolutely see why this has found its way onto syllabuses, now it's time to get it in actors' hands. Truly a special piece.
