    “ Brilliant and timely, this tight-as-a-drum ten-minute play says everything. I hope it's performed in every corner of the U.S.! Bublitz hits this one over the fence in this important play that's sure to be read and shared and talked about for years to come. ”

    “ Bublitz's taut and wonderfully unsettling ten-minute play should be performed over and over and everywhere. ”

    “ An incredibly interesting play that turns the current state of equal rights on its head to hold a mirror to the face of those who are currently in power. Meaningful, deep, and deeply disturbing, I highly recommend this play to anyone who is upset by the disbalance in the world today, and to any man who finds themselves abusing this power. ”
