    A very poignant, moving, and witty 10-minute play. There are so many genuine moments between these two characters including the tragedy that binds them. There are times where you laugh and times where you are moved to tears. Beautiful piece. Very well done!

    Very true, how we come together after a loss even if we're fighting over our regrets. Perhaps we focus on those to protect ourselves from feeling the weight of the loss. But protection comes from healing which we can find in each other. Fantastic!

    They say that funerals are more for the living than they are for the dead. Hayet’s play digs in deep to themes of grief and guilt, and how they’re processed at times of significant loss. As Taylor and Kelly continually raise the stakes throughout the scene, betting on who was a better friend to Kate, (and aggrandizing their own level of suffering,) ultimately they have to show their cards. When they do, it’s no longer a contest... they both want the same thing: their friend back. A strong piece tackling a difficult subject.
