    “ This play reminds me so much of every time Neil deGrasse Tyson goes on a Tweetstorm about scientific inaccuracies in movies. Monica Cross perfectly captures the well-meaning but pedantic intentions of people who are obsessed with factual accuracy in place of emotional resonance. This script is so clever and the button on the end is sweet, hopeful--and I found it refreshing to see a "showmance" relationship can blossom even in the Far Future. Well done! ”

    “ A very brainy, very funny, oddly moving science fiction short, with something big to say about physics, human emotion, attention to detail, the sweep of time, historiography, social and historical contexts for art, and, most importantly, the very real danger of missing the forest for the trees. Imaginative, insightful, and tremendous fun. ”

    “ "a Dopamine Attention Variability-style mind"!!!
    I love you too, Monica Cross.

    And I LOVE this play!

    While dramaturgs takes it on the chin a bit (though stodgy dramaturgs must remember they are not the playwright, even if that playwright is long since molecules of ashes), full disclosure: when I read "There is no thought in the absence of time" my knee-jerk dramaturg's reaction was "well, that's not accurate." :-D

    It's nice to think that Terran drama might outlast the apocalypse and be discovered, even appreciated, by culturally advanced life forms. Especially those who love a good Shakespeare nod. Bravo! ”

    “ Monica Cross never disappoints. This is a fantastic short SciFi that poses a battle between one’s happiness and facts, and the important Fe of making that decision for yourself. A fantastic piece to start the new year with! ”

    “ One of my father's favorite adages is "Would you rather be happy or right?" In this clever sci-fi short, our two lovers chose happiness, leaving the science-minded galactic dramaturg to their facts. This play is an interesting little dive into the value of art, historical perspectives, metaphor, and meaning! ”

    “ When art and science collide, sometimes the science must suffer for the sake of the art. Monica Cross's terrific short play gives us plenty of heat, both romantic and exothermic*, in this short science-fiction comedy where the earth crashing into the sun is the LEAST of everyone's worries. Enjoy this sci-fi treat, but more importantly: Produce it.
    *I'm sure the Galactic Dramaturg will correct me if I'm wrong. ”

    “ What is romance and heartbreak when seen through the lens of cold, hard science? A witty, short science fiction play. ”
