    In the intimate confines of a suburban backyard, TJ's makeshift Stonehenge becomes a powerful metaphor. As the stones align, so do the fractured pieces of their relationship. Amid disappointment and DUIs, Kendra joins in, weaving commitment and forgiveness into the ancient stones. A testament to resilience and love.

    A pitch-perfect origin story. It tells us what to expect from the Stone Circle, frames the types of characters we'll be meeting going forward, and opens an almost infinite number of possibilities for the series. You don't have to start here (I didn't) but you'll be glad you found your way here when you do. Really well done.

    Backyard Stonehenge hides the dark realities of depression under a mask of grand gestures and deep love, just like in real life. And just like real life it's handled with the easily identifiable humor we use to cope with the trauma of our existence. In a few short pages Jacquelyn crafts relatable characters making the most of a bad situation. Backyard Stonehenge is sweet, and caring, and loving, and briming with an underlying pain. This is an important show from an important playwright. It's honest with Jacquie's signature humor and tight dialogue. This is a great show.
