“
Oh my, what a powerful piece of art. I was enthralled by the multi-cultural descriptions and nuances. It's a story that centers around women, relationships, existential ideals, and it's so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. It's more than the words though, this play is well conceived through staging, through the dynamics of tension and love and loss. Two worlds in different times, crossing dimensions to connect the dots and tell an incredible story. ”

The first thing I did as soon as I read Stefani Kuo’s DELICACY OF A PUFFIN HEART is turn to my partner and tell them that they had to read it—immediately.
Time does not feel linear in this play, and Kuo seamlessly weaves together characters, connecting them through identity, loss, and liminality. Their loneliness jumps off of the page and clings to you as you read it.
I cannot put into words how devastatingly gorgeous this play is, but it’s the kind of theatre we need more of. ”

This play is masterfully woven. Relationships, identity, love, loss, and time, circle and wrap each scene like poetry. The loneliness is enhanced with the joy of the characters and vice versa. Would love to see this beautiful play realized on stage. ”
