A self-help women’s podcast out of Indiana divides two sisters in England. When online alternative thinking manifests into the rise of a movement, its cult leader in America is confronted and the survival of a family hangs in the balance.

"I’d like to firstly thank you for submitting your play to me to read, since reading it, your play has been tumbling around my head, I do not think that I have read a play quite like this, with four such detailed and distinct female characters." - Gareth Nicholls, Traverse Theatre

"I admired its unique and timely premise, as well as the sharply observed dialogue and finely textured relationships. It’s compelling to get a behind-the-scenes look at a cultural phenomenon such as Lucia and Kim’s podcast, and to see how someone like Lucia works. I wish you the best of luck in finding a production soon." - Jessica Reese, Actors Theatre of Louisville

"This is an impressive and confidently written whip-smart drama with a political edge about two separate stories: one involving a set of alt-right American female podcasters and a set of British sisters. The storylines intersect thematically with scenes from both plots alternating throughout the play. The characters are sharply drawn and the dialogue sparks nicely off the page." - Papatango Prize

    A sibling rivalry boils and it's an excellent cautionary tale against greed, judgement and to focus on watering our own grass. Captivating and well done.
