“ From what I gathered from the story, it's sort of comedic with an uplifting conclusion. The way both characters are envious of the other despite being in the same predicament is relatable to almost anyone in my opinion. Sometimes we regret the choices we make but then we remember why we do it in the first place. I especially enjoyed how both characters inspired the other despite their similar internal conflict. ”

“ How do artists of every sort sustain the creative spark in the face of crippling self-doubt and meagre external reinforcement? That's the question at the heart of this thoughtful reflection on two artists' struggles to keep the spark alive. The miracle is that they do and that is the heartening conclusion that these two highly relatable artists reach. ”

“ I'm not sure if Marcia was studying me when I write plays when she came up with the Writer character because that was so relatable, I found it shocking. This is a great artistic take on the old saying "the grass is always greener somewhere else". Myself, and a majority of artists, have at one point or another had these conversations with themselves and so to see it represented in a stage show, it can put that into perspective for the general audiences unaware of how difficult it is to even just write a short ten-minute play. ”
