    “

    "If we did everything the right way, nothing would ever get done." A lovely, bloody, whip-smart show that perfectly nails the intersection of attraction and ambition. Guided by Snyder's vivid and gut-wrenching dialogue, Hadley and Veronica's twisty dance between what is smart and what is good is a genuine treat to watch. Inventive staging and doubling tricks allow for a wide variety of performance options, without ever sacrificing the story of the show. A grimly glorious tale. Highly recommend.

    Sweet in the same way lemon drop candies are—sugarcoated. Also a mad scientist. Brilliant. Visionary. Vivacious. A prime victim of some old-fashioned hubris.

    They’re a planet in orbit around a star that’s about to supernova. Their moral compass is perfectly intact; they just repeatedly choose not to use it.
