Characters come to life to confront an author and his agent in this insightful meta play. They strip the covers from the writing process and raise thorny questions. What's the source of our ideas? Is anything we write truly original? Do we have the permission to write what we want? Does our identity handcuff us so we’re limited in what we write? To what extent are our characters autobiographical? Who are we writing for? As Mira says, “Impact trumps intent.” Those are chilling words. Well done.

I absolutely love the premise of this work, and the execution is superb. Where does inspiration truly come from? As writers, do we ultimately have RESPONSIBILITY for what (and whom) we create? And what do more contemporary pressures mean when it comes to creation? This play explores all that and more, always keeping your interest and getting you to care about the characters, even (especially?) the heel. I loved spending time in the world that Heyman created and think other audiences certainly would as well. Produce this play!

I love this roller-coaster play. Sam Heyman creates a crazy world where every time we think we are settling in, the play shifts and twists -- always driving towards the inevitable and surprising ending. This is a play set in the world of writing and publishing, as the characters look for their identities and explore how far they will go to get what they want. This play forces us to look inside ourselves and ask questions we would prefer to avoid. Well done.
