    “ Strangely beautiful piece about what we take from the earth/mother nature, family trauma, and a young woman's understanding of the world. With airs of Conor McPherson and Caryl Churchill, the story weaves together in a miraculous way. McKinley looks towards the sins of the past to free herself into the future. Behlke has a wonderful way with natural dialogue and all of its imperfections, looping the ideas, characters, story into one thematic whole. ”

    “ A beautiful (basically) solo piece about how we pass down the way we view nature. ”

    “ What a powerful and unique piece of work. It allows its female characters to delve into darkness without pulling any punches.

    Delightful. This is an original play. ”

    “ A beautiful meditation on our responsibility to the Earth, and how that might intersect with both our personal flaws and strengths. I was haunted by the Alaskan mythology of the piece while still being incredibly moved by the warmth of the central father/daughter relationship. Just lovely work, and I hope to see it fully staged someday! ”

    “ Excellent, provoking and timely. Makes us consider our responsibilities not only to nature but also to those around us. ”
