This painful, beautiful play about loss speaks to the great power of theatre to make us feel complex emotions through fiction. This is partly because Romeo crafts her characters with such love and care, but for me, the genius stroke is to make the stage design (the encroaching forest) represent the chaos of the mind, lifting this play into another realm. Deeply moving.

What a beautiful play, economically structured - each image, character and element adding to a resonant whole. So good.

One of those plays that leaves you breathless and aching (in the best way!). I was immediately struck by the generosity and warmth between Juliet and Pam - though I've read many plays about memory loss, their resigned and often-gracious understanding was a wonderful element I'd never seen depicted before. Romeo also perfectly captures the heaviness of and unsolvable disagreements and differences between the two women. This is a very lived-in relationship that develops into a meaningful and compellingly complicated story about loss - how it entangles, empties, and changes us. And that ending - wow.
