“ Max and Diana were united when their parents began sleeping together, and over the next thirty years they manage their folks and themselves, two souls entwined in a need for trust, for having one person that they can entirely count on. And that’s hard. It’s a very touching, soul-bearing work that jumps back and forth in time, from childhood to middle years, and all points in between, creating a tapestry of love and dependence. It’s worth it to have someone. ”

“ What an amazingly observed and rendered portrait of two compelling characters. Ching's refracted chronology is expertly pieced together so as to always keep one wanting to know what happens next but never frustrated by what they don't know. In fact, I was delighted that we were provided a solid foundation for Diana and Max's relationship before we learn some of the central tensions and traumatic events within it. It was a humbling treat to read such well-crafted, natural, and hilarious dialogue. Its humanness made the sad bits hurt more, while also feel strangely healing--much like real and messy friendship. ”

“ I saw the Kitchen Theatre's production of this play in Ithaca, NY, and was struck by the deeply human, sometimes painful, consistently touching way that it moves through two lives that coexist with one another. Max and Diana's relationship was one that felt so specifically and uniquely defined, and yet one that I recognized too, and appreciated for both of those qualities. ”
