A powerful piece that examines evolution in a relationship and whether or not one then wants it continue after so long. It's not an easy choice to make. Well done. ”

This is such an amazing piece! It manages to feel both like this super focused, human, beautiful, sad, funny, and painful exploration of a complicated and loving relationship from all sorts of angles while also being something bigger. Lynett examines how intersectional and evolving identity impacts relationships, the complexities and nuances of emerging and in-progress poly identity and exploration, and the ways people both overtly and subconsciously sabotage or triage relationships. I appreciated how this ended with a mix of pathos, love, and moving forward. ”

There are no easy answers in REFUGE, which makes it so wonderful. All the characters are complex and complicated, trying to do what’s “right” and fighting against themselves. It’s funny, the dialogue zips by, and every now and then we land with a gut-punch truth making us as the audience reevaluate our own values. ”
