    “ What a powerful play. I saw the performance on youtube which also packs a punch. So relevant and chilling. Everyone needs to see this. ”

    “ A shocking play, however brief, about gun violence in schools. Clara clearly loves and appreciates her mother - as her mother does, her - but it is the end of this very, very short play that strikes such a chord with those who worry about their kids' safety. ”
