    A powerful call to attention for us all to ask if we have the moral courage to do the right thing even if it compromises our careers. Will Jefferson lose the show and more? Well done.

    Wow, this play is great. Uncomfortable and funny and horrifying and so, so true. Two women are on the cusp of finally making it when they find out that the man involved in their project - the man who is the reason they're on the cusp of finally making it - raped someone. But it was years ago, and if they say something, another opportunity like this might never come along. What to do? Such a wonderful piece.

    A haunting dark comedy about the desire for success vs the desire to help your "friends," along with even more difficult questions. The ways in which the characters desperately fight the white patriarchy but only wind up tangling themselves further into its web is dizzying. I read this in one entire read - the flow of the action kept me hooked up until the last word. I'm so happy to have been introduced to Rachel's work with this play. Can't wait to read more!
