“ I was so taken with the three nurses here portrayed as so human. With drives, ambitions, little flaws and faults. They seem like real people to us. And the work they do is fraught with potential heartbreak, never knowing who will or won't survive under their care. When a bit of luck enters the picture, you just aren't expecting a next page hammer blow that hits home in a frightening way. Life can turn on a dime, and Vince Gatton ably proves this. This play is hopeful and harrowing at the same time. So much done with so little. Bravo. ”

“ Lulled into a rhythmic normalcy of idle chat and becoming familiar with characters you relate to and grow fond of, Vince Gatton has set the stage for a subtle turn toward tragedy. But it is an all too commonplace tragedy that we sense around every corner in today’s world. Bravo Mr. Gatton for sneaking up on me with that baseball bat. And while I watched you slowly wind up, I could not make myself get out of the way. ”

“ I've always been fascinated by the outskirts of tragedy. Certainly, there's greater drama and trauma at the epicenter of a disaster. But what about the moments before? When we see the water recede from the beach signaling a tsunami...

Here, Gatton perfectly captures the calm before a maelstrom. Three nurses enjoy a break on a slow day, each making incremental yet significant advances toward their own happiness. Tragedy inevitably strikes but it strikes elsewhere. But the reason why we're bearing witness to these people soon becomes startlingly clear.

Delightful characters, effervescent dialogue, and exquisite detail make this a heartbreaker.

“ Vince Gatton knows how to suck you in. He’s sneaky. Nothing on the nose. One minute you’re gliding along on the rails of well-crafted but innocuous dialogue, just some chatter between three distinctly different ER nurses, barely a hint of a problem, but then – WHAM. You’re hit between the eyes. Can’t wait for the next chapter in this story! ”
