A highly ambitious play that expertly weaves comedy with deep-seated trauma. I’ll be thinking about Maxwell’s journey from survivor to the director of his own narrative for years to come. The precision with which Clark has sculpted these lives, complete with pain and potential for hope is masterful. Each twist is expertly layered, while still maintaining tension and suspense. I can't wait to see this performed!

A compelling theatrical piece that uses a brisk and darkly-comedic pace/tone and ever so slightly heightened language and circumstances to explore a lot. Clark looks at the ways white cis-het acting masculinity impacts the queer community at large and, specifically, queer Black men and folks who don't fit neatly into prescribed roles; intimacy; and what to do with the trauma and pain that has been inflicted upon you. The clever turns (that are still so perfectly foreshadowed) make for surprising moments and a satisfyingly jaded ending.
