    “ This play brilliantly encapsulates the way our lives can intersect other peoples' at what could be critical points for them, but its just another typical day for us- or vice versa. Krause builds a theatrical moment out of this everyday interaction. T's final monologue is a great example of selective stream-of-consciousness too. Excellent work! ”

    “ A phenomenal short piece which manages to simultaneously create a complete story and fit into a greater world. This play reads as not only a piece of theatre, but as a slightly-left-of-ordinary experience possibly taking place in a bathroom near you. ”

    “ Krause has written a funny and philosophical play about how to consider living in this crazy ruined world for young women who have the most at stake for just starting out and not having made too many huge errors yet and the terror of the futures that await them depending on the choices they make. I felt for them all, especially the bloody one! ”

    “ A fantastic short piece that isn’t afraid to get down and dirty (or bloody). Krause manages to fit in so much life in the brief pages, as well as three rich and full characters ready for actors to step in to. I’m excited to read more of her work. ”

    “ A raw, visceral short play that really lets you into the messiness of female life both existentially and physically. The use of the bathroom stall location invites the audience into a rarely visited place and Krause completely subverts expectations by the conversation that is being had between Beck and T. I'm all for more plays set in bathrooms that combine the unexpected and natural. ”

    “ A slice of life moment in time that leaves you thinking about your place in the world. Krause has a style with her dialogue and soliloquy that leaves you feeling that each of her characters is uniquely human. Each character is distinct and each one in a different place in their life. So much is told in so few lines, from the hectic, high pressure life and situation of Girl, to the universal concerns of Beck, to the bewildered caring of T. Each leave you wondering and wanting a little more. A wonderful slice of life play from Emily Krause! ”
