    “ Authentic in delivery, execution, and circumstance. These characters ring true in their behavior and in the way that Cato has brought their conversation to life, keeping you engaged from beginning to end. ”

    “ Not a single line is wasted in this vivid, brilliant short play- the arc is gripping, the characters whole, and the conversation urgent. In 12 pages, Cato manages to construct a layered world punctuated by hilarious moments. Nothing short of incredible! ”
