    What a beautiful and cohesive pair of monologues! Insightful, touching, and also comforting, McVay found a way to capture 14 years life into just 4 pages. Excellent work!

    Fascinating set of monologues that take you back in time and also take you back to your own past where you were trying to discover what worked and what didn't work about life and more importantly yourself, realizing that I'd never really be Ally Sheedy was something that was a let down for me, but like she states in the monologue, there is no John Hughes steering the course of your life ship, only yourself.

    These monologues are so poignant and true-to-life. What a brilliant idea to do eight steps too, showing the discoveries that we make over a lifetime. Pure gold. Reminds of me the 7-up series, as in I would absolutely love to see more.
