“ Both raw and literate, this devastating piece offers searing, personal insight into neurodivergent thinking (when the brain flat out works against the person trying to use it) piled on top of systemic prejudice, trauma, complications of Covid, loss and longing. The anticipated staging is ambitious, imaginative and gripping. Note: this play has graphic (though integral) realistic intimacy that may not be everyone, but then again maybe it should be, because it is, above all, triumphantly, honest. And "I won't survive you twice" is a line I'll never forget. ”

“ Yet again Sickles looks forward with his work. Although the illness is not explicitly named, the protagonist of the play is suffering from the long-term effects of a condition that we cannot help but associate with Covid. The play fully explores a survivor's attempt to re-negotiate his place in the world, an ordeal so many of us will be undergoing. There is an absolute tour-de-force in the center of this play that captures the humor, anxiety, and sheer pathos of a character's feelings in the midst of less-than-satisfying sex. A thoroughly compelling piece, and I look forward to future drafts. ”
