    What a powerful examination of the personal cost of isolation. This play incisively captures the zeitgeist of our recent past through two compelling characters facing a difficult situation and a vital choice.

    Love in the time of covid. Reminds me a lot about all the dating days when I first started out and AIDS was still taking its toll on the gay world and you'd meet up with someone and think, does he have it? Do I have it and not know it? Clasp is so very real and and tugs at your heart so very hard. Malone's play states that social distancing is not going to be a forever thing and his play makes us glad that that is the case.

    Wow... Provocative, timely, this play projects something that humanity is collectively feeling during this unique time in our history and hits that emotion home hard.
