I don't like sand. It's coarse. Rough and irritating. You know how it goes. What I do love is this play. LIKE sand, it should get everywhere. Zubel's script is absolutely gobsmacking, insightfully and absurdly shining bright, bright light on alcoholism and sober life. To say much more would spoil the beauty of its shifts and movements, but rest assured that a full company would have a powerful, enthralling time creating the imagery here. God, how I would love to see this live. ”

Absurdist. Bright. Funny. Poetic. Gorgeously paced. Beautiful language. I could really go on. This play is one hell of a ride. It goes from everyday to huge and theatrical to an ending that is vulnerable, incredibly poignant, and heart-wrenching. Much like a trip through Area 51, there is so much to discover in this play about loneliness, asking for help, addiction, and ultimately recovery. A must-read and a must-produce! ”

I am floored, I am dumbstruck, I am filled with wonder and awe. Beautiful language bringing absurdist (and often hilarious) heightened circumstances to life -- all of it grounded in truthful human behavior, in radical vulnerability. Gripping from beginning to end. I cannot WAIT to see these images come to life onstage. I was moved, I was transported, I was so encouraged to see a play that trusts the theatrical mechanism to tell an expansive story, that challenges what's "possible" and asks us as theater-makers to dream bigger, dig deeper. Also: great roles/text for queer actors (wonderful and refreshing!) ”
