    “

    This is an EXCELLENT debut play from Jasmine Richards. I was completely charmed by Bug, and Ada is a perfectly human human. This play is for people who wish someone would sit them down and explain how the world works. It is silly, existential, and enrapturing. A wonderful play for two wonderful actors, an especially exciting opportunity for queer performers! The play is simple in form but complex in meaning, making it an exciting theatrical proposition FOR ALL THEATRE MAKERS! PRODUCE THIS PLAY!
