“ An exquisite play that examines family trauma, mother-daughter relationships, loneliness, mental health, and the intersection of those things with race and gender. Lanny/Langree/Tabitha's relationship with her Blackness and self image, and how that is inextricably tied with the self image of her mother is so potently explored here. The separation of Lanny into three parts (and how those parts interact) is a brilliant device to heighten the sense that, as we grow, we both try to leave behind who we were and wish for a peek into the unknowable future to confirm that we make it through. ”

“ A visceral read. There's much to say of Craig-Galván's writing, images irradiating from the page, language resonating, economical, poetic; performance is seldom so clearly delineated within a script as it is here. Lanny's story of abuse begins rooted in ignominies of race, from her dialect, to the management of her natural hair, with all of it being enforced (and reinforced) by her mother. The play's thematic endeavor, to have an objective view of Reda, requires solemn, informed apprehension regarding numerous psychosocial issues, which Langree and Tabitha seek to achieve through revisiting, maybe even correcting, a journey of learned shame. ”
