“
Adolescence and sexuality are already pretty damn terrifying. Caitlin Turnage knows this and knows that we know it, making it all the more brutal as she shows how contemporary religion makes things exponentially worse, both in the dangerous external power relations it imposes and the way it warps its two protagonists' own sense of self. Sharply observed and powerful. (And "Pantyhose Rice Babies" is my new band name.) ”

“
Two-character high school play in a school self-defined by its devotion to Christianity. The world building of this specific school environment is spot on, and this short, revealing piece delivers. ”

A beautiful play anyone who’s ever struggled with their religion can understand. It’s well worth the read. ”
