    Breathtaking. A poetic, evocative meditation on ambition and mortality, Pazniokas’ short piece is a mountain to scale in its own right, offering the audience a chance to take the climb, and looming in our minds long after we step away from the page. Yuki and Silas’ manner is conversational and stream-of-consciousness, and the simplicity of it all does so much with so little. Terrific work. I would love to experience this live.

    A captivating exploration of what it takes to scale Mt. Everest as they seriously consider all the ins and outs, speculating on the experiences of others. Well done.

    These two characters are such mysteries and that's a big thing I love about this short play. They can be heartbroken, cocky and on some weird tangent all in one moment. This is a great exploration of the telling of a story and how we put ourselves in the tragedies of others at times.
