Saving Throw

    An absolute heartwarming gut punch of a play about friendship, closure, and vulnerability. It's so refreshing to read something that features men being so open and honest with one another. As a DND player myself, the game mechanics and storytelling presented here are spot-on, and I admire Freeman's dedication to accuracy and showcasing the friendship and community that is built during a game of DND. A line I particularly loved: "I once ate Dominoes and felt my whole body reject it.".
