A gentle and thorough exploration of these two men that, for all of the subtlety it finds in their everyday existences, manages to be monumentally adventurous in form and thematically profound. I loved how reading this conjured imagery of an exciting movement-based theatrical evening in my mind, but that I could also tell how it could change so much depending on which creative production team tackles it. I'd love to see this on its feet someday soon! A narrative that explores male intimacy and friendship with such tenderness is a precious rarity.

Ben graciously shared the development of this play in a workshop. To follow its evolution was a true masterclass in watching the playwright at work. The result is a thought-provoking play that traces the enduring relationship between two cousins over many years. Through a series of ongoing dialogues from childhood to adulthood, the play explores the nuances of their lives, diverging paths, and the steadfast bond they maintain despite their differences. The narrative delves into the inner lives of men of color, portrayed with sensitivity, poise, and love.
