    The characters and set up for this play is so fun and imaginative! Veronica Tjioe puts in great questions about life into these quick witted plants! The characters were all so unique and the play as a whole is a fun enjoyable read.

    I recommend "Prefers Bright Indirect Light" for reading and production because Veronica Tjioe puts her characters through the emotional wringer. They experience everything from grief and despair, disillusionment and ennui to -- and this is where I found myself so very happy -- bright, genuine, mood-altering joy.

    Nicely distinct characters, plenty of emotions and reverses, some existential themes, and a bit of joy? I really like this short comedy.

    What a great read! Veronica Tjioe really brings these plants to life. The characters are vivid, the dialogue sparkles (and is quite funny) and I enjoyed every second. This would be a pleasure to see or act in.
