    “ A hilarious play in the middle of an apocalypse filled with a mix of witchcraft and work references that is so creative and funny. Well done. ”

    “ This was my introduction to the very talented and gifted playwright Rachael Carnes and I was very lucky to be able to see this read at the Inge Festival in 2018. It has all those items that make her works a joy to read and see. And then there's the gift she's given to the the playwright community in addition to her talents as a writer. If you haven't read a Carnes play yet, do yourself a very big favor by doing that today! ”

    “ A zany and fun little comedic gem. Carnes' bright language and sense of play is on display here in a delightful way! The play is a little great commentary on how The Important Men in charge are still barely doing anything. This play is hurting for a group of game and goofy actors to attack it. ”
