“
A powerful piece about the investigation of a "communal smell" and the horrifying realization changes everything for them. Well done. ”

- Shaun Leisher:21 Oct. 2019“ WOW!!! I've read plays before that look at how disconnected we all are but this does it in such a unique way and without going on about our obsession with technology. Cool way to reveal passage of time. Plus Greta's arc is so well written and the resolution both surprises and makes total sense. ”
- Paul Vintner:20 Feb. 2019“ Unlike the mysterious foul smell the characters can't quite place, this piece is a whiff of fresh air that will make your mind effervesce. Strange, rueful, potent, and intoxicating... ”
- Rachel Bublitz:20 Apr. 2018“ Really dark and really funny. I love the obsession of the smell, and the obsession to figure out what it is. Pazniokas handles time in a really refreshing way, and all of the characters are fascinating to listen to. ”
- Emma Goldman-Sherman:20 Apr. 2018“ Hilarious play! From the premise to the end, it's the kind of thing where the audience ends up in the aisles rolling around helplessly. This is life in the city, a terrible nightmare, a real reality, all with brilliant timing, time passing, dialogue, subtext, great moments. . . and the stench! ”
- Greg Burdick:8 Nov. 2017“ A grim meditation on the ulitimate consequences of living alone. Pazniokas uses structure to dictate the passage of time in a quick-fire series of vignettes. Each grows increasingly urgent for Greta as she tries in desperation to lock down the source of the smell. The play’s grisly conclusion instantly prompts the question: how could that happen? And yet, truth is always stranger than any fiction we might devise... it could most certainly happen. Take a deep whiff of GOODNIGHT... it’ll stay with you. ”
