A beautiful exploration of a character's life and it's parallel with his career as an epidemiologist. It does a wonderful job of feeling relevant (in the sense that it talks about a pandemic), while still keeping enough distance from COVID that it is not too emotionally difficult to read. This play is so important to me as a writer, showing me how to weave science and other non-theatrical topics into a theatrical setting-- I talked about it extensively in my college interview!

As a fan of Lauren Gunderson, the thing that stands out about her to me is her ability to transport you into the world of her characters. She takes human truths and presents them on a silver platter for us to enjoy. Her use of language connects her characters to the themes she's exploring (in this case, to the idea that we don't know how the future will unfold, and it's wise to keep yourself grounded through your upbringing and morality.

A fascinating story of the one who foresaw a catastrophe we never expected to see live out, a global pandemic. Moving and well done.
