    A stunning play about how differently people grieve. Loved the way Adams plays with time and reality in this play.

    I saw Ink'dWell in its Off-Broadway production with New Light Theater Project, and I loved it. It is so rare to find a play that accurately and thoughtfully depicts anxiety and depression and is also so full of love. This play needs to be widely produced.

    A tough and beautiful play that moves with a quiet, mournful power. It deftly captures the confusion and uncertainty of grief and the secrets we keep even from those closest to us, but finds hope and healing in the bonds of family.
