I was lucky enough to see a staged reading of this play at the Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival. A remarkable piece that explores the complicated and painful reality of what happens when old friendships grow apart. Each character is filled with complex humanity and the story delivers a satisfyingly emotional and cathartic gut punch. Highly recommend for college-aged actors/audiences and adults alike - we will all see ourselves in this beautiful story.

Maintaining relationships with your childhood friends is already hard without the struggles that come up with camping. I loved how Walborn layers on the stakes. I loved how danger like the mysterious noises and wrecked campsite are introduced but never really resolved. It's a classic misdirection that lets us know that the true danger can be found in the human drama elements of this play. It doesn't always make sense why these women were ever friends to begin with but deep friendship doesn't always have to make sense.
