    Robin Rice has a way with language, staccato, lyrical, pressing, that drives her story through you. The argument builds and roils and all of a sudden, you've reached the end. Agnes yells back words said by other characters and the childish repetition is devastating. The twists are wonderful and dark. When we shroud ourselves so we might drown in our guilt, sometimes we need someone to tear up all that we've sewn. We need to rip up all our empty notebooks. We need to love and forgive. Isn't it funny how forgiving ourselves is so much harder than forgiving others?

    A journey that will keep you guessing till the end. A beautiful exploration of both a romantic relationship being tested and a sibling bond being stripped away. The supernatural elements serve as a backdrop to the character-driven rollercoaster of Agnes, Maddie, and Bell's story. The language weaves rich symbolism and deep themes into a relatable and extraordinary story of love and grief.

    An extraordinary journey of discovery as two women descend into the depths to confront the past and so much pain and brokenness that’s created or compounded by a sibling who appears, or seems to, or do they? Rich in symbolism and language, delicious roles for actors, and a set that’s a designer’s dream. Robin Rice rips the fabric to expose a fantastical world.

    Riveting and Robin's use of language makes this all the more gripping. We're on the edge of our seat for this powerful play about love and familial ties. Exceptionally well done!

    An exciting play about how a sister comes between two women in a lesbian relationship, how family secrets hold us back from living and from loving. I love how Rice uses her flair for theatricality to great effects here, and I love the journey she takes us on. The storm is evocative of the emotional lives of her characters, and the supernatural aspects of this tale make it a great play for the Halloween slot in your season! Highly recommended!
