    “ 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. ”

    “ There is a fiendish charm to the play's judgy, cocksure duo as they discuss what they believe it takes to succeed, the reason for their actions, and the loss of a friend/acquaintance/rival(?). From the dialogue to the character names, you better pay attention or you'll miss the dry, offbeat humor in Pazniokas' wickedly clever script that proves what a deft playwright she is. ”

    “ Something that really excites me about Pazniokas' writing, and with this play, EVERLAST, is the role she puts the audience in. As audience members we are involved in the conversation and the stakes of these characters, and for me, that just pulls me more in to the story. I also love the specifics in EVERLAST, and the depth of both world and character created in so few pages. ”
