“
A touching play on the mourning process.
A wacky premise that's surprisingly poignant and uplifting, hopeful.
An emotionally rich piece that two female actors would love to tackle.
A smart choice for any theatre festival on themes of mourning and death. ”

“
The way the characters wind around the dueling subject matter of absurdity and tragedy provides good roles for the two women, and a leaping catharsis for the audience. Relatable, funny, sharp, and ultimately haunting, this couple’s argument builds and builds and then drops like a feather, a feather easily caught but not yet understood, like hope. ”
