    This play has so much you can play around with. It has a sad plot, yet humor that makes its way in and out of it. It is a darker play but it is handled in a lighter manner which makes it a really nice play to read and gives a lot of opportunity for actors to play around with it. There is also a nice character dynamic that feels very realistic. Very well-written play.

    A beautifully moving piece about death and acceptance, which wisely steers clear of the maudlin and finds immense power in the mundane.

    This is a moving play about dying and undying love; the things we can't say when we're in pain for someone else. Even with all of that, there is humor and filial closeness. A beautiful piece of writing about teenaged twins.
