    A revealing look at the rocky journey of recovery and how we relate to our loved ones and ourself as we go through it. Well done.

    A touching and well-crafted play that explores a complex and evolving relationship between two sympathetic characters. Brantley has crafted likeable folks in Avery and Emily, who earn our loyalty, even as we see them sabotage themselves and their connections with other. I love the way the piece maintains a physical unity of space while winding back and forth through time. There is a lot of room here for creative staging and stage pictures, and for interesting use of design elements to establish and maintain the heightened theatrical world. The ending caught me off guard with its poignant ambiguity.

    This play explores the passage of time, the paths not taken, and the way for some, emotional self-protection can endure the worst, but in that momentary response, might impede growth. Brantley brings a hopeful message within a play with increasing extremes – there’s a sense of connection between and among the characters, that’s ultimately about self-acceptance. This play grabbed me and kept me right with it, start to finish.

    Sharp, touching, funny, heartbreaking play. Drives forward straight through to the end, loaded up with mystery, anger, love, and the absurdity that so often pokes through in dire situations. A story about the reflections of ourselves that we do or don’t see in our loved ones, and the unknowable parts of those closest to us. A beautiful piece!
