    “ This lyrical play explores what it means to be a parent with a compelling mixture of humor, conflict and not a little magic. The central interpersonal issue is leavened with social satire and a rigorous sense of place. These events could not transpire as they do in any other location. ”

    “ Very powerful, imaginative with poetry always. Very impressive. The language was very, very strong. Would like to see it. ”

    “ McCants balances drama, humor, and a touch of the extraordinary in this fascinating play. The voices of these characters are a lot of fun - they're characters actors would have a lot of fun with - but the challenges within the play are difficult and require real struggle. You'll never look at waiting rooms the same way again! ”
