    “ I love the movement, rhythm and how it all builds. Little details like a cat named McRib and how how eyes are never brown or blue or green but moss or pollution or mud or sea or tar-- are wonderful. This would be a blast to direct and a thrill to see. Highly recommend. ”

    “ As the wedding brings a world of things to the surface, we engage in an exploration of truth and identity that reveals a great deal about human nature. Theatrically strong, very fun and well done! ”

    “ An absolute genre-bending blast that is so much more than the sum of its parts. I wholeheartedly love the theatrical world Walker establishes here that feels like satire, brutalism, horror, and magical realism had a love child. The piece explores identity, the challenges of living one's truth in heteronormative-patriarchal structures, trauma aftermath, and so many other issues and ideas using lyrical poetry, totally hilarious and profane pitch-black comedy, creative movement, and some strategically-timed gut punches throughout. I would love to see this realized onstage--it is absolutely a piece that is meant to be theatricalized. ”

    “ The title of this play cries sensationalism, but this play is so much more. Walker shows the deep emotions of the characters that drive them to actions beyond their control. A fascinating human study. ”

    “ Last year I saw this play at a late night performance that was part of Philly Fringe. There are moments and images from this piece that still haunt me. This play is part memory play, part choreopoem and pitch black comedy. It's an important new work by one of the most exciting new voices in American theatre. It's an exploration of love that oozes with sex and gore. The stage directions, lines and characters challenge directors and producers and I can't wait to meet those that are up to the challenge of producing this magnificant play. ”
