    “ "Like the sound of the wind itself." This is a mature play. A play by an author who fundamentally understands theatre and liveness. It doesn't feel the need to shout. It is about actual adult love, in the quiet ways and in it's permanent state of breaking and healing. About staying when a partner needs you no matter what the voices are saying.
    It is a play about relationship to each other and the world. And it is kind. A kindness that we all need to be in a room with right now. ”

    “ Ms Svich's writing is cinematic, poetic, full of compassion and ANXIETY for human race and our future generations. While using humor to allow the audience to breathe through the heavy subject, she does not refrain from reminding us of the inevitable consequence of global warming and excessive human exploitation. Disturbing, moving, and timely. ”

    “ This play offers exquisite language and a distinctive voice. The poetic imagery weaved through-out is nothing short of stunning. The story is propelled forward not by a traditional dramatic structure, but by the poetry itself, which I believe speaks to the genius of the piece and its creator. I highly recommend reading and producing this play. It needs to be experienced by a wide audience. ”

    “ A deeply poetic and beautiful play. The world Svich creates drips with such rich imagery, just reading it off the page dozens of fantastic stage pictures come into my head. I was so enthralled by the characters, and the use of time, memory, and dream. This play offers so much theatricality and spectacle I can just imagine designers leaping at the chance to bring it to life. Incredibly well done, highly recommend reading and producing USHUAIA BLUE. ”

    “ Beautiful, desperate love story, intimate (mis)connections, makings of heartache. One stunning, architectural success of the piece is the suspension in time that Svich describes as "when someone you love is ill." This is behooved by the suggestions and possibilities Svich's script presents for design and multimedia; think Malick, 'Koyaanisqatsi'. Svich again shows how she is actually creating pure theatre, the chorus sharing with our discomfort and reflection. This is devastating poetry, a kind of Homer for our age, with clear writing, true, heartfelt conflicts. For me, Pepa's relationship with the world, its mysteries, turmoil, feel in real time. ”
