    "Tipping" is a powerful play that delves into the complexities of human emotion and the struggle for self-discovery. The play examines the theme of despair and the struggle to cope with life's challenges. It also explores the impact of unemployment on one's sense of self-worth and purpose. Additionally, the narrative touches on the need for release, expressed through one character’s unconventional approach to dealing with misery. Blevins hints at the complexity of human connection and the potential for empathy even in unexpected circumstances.

    Blevins shows real compassion and insight here. Liked the twist at the end and the connection which seemed elusive. Congratulations.
