    I was lucky to see the reading of this at KCACTF 2018 and it is just phenomenal. Every moment, every monologue, each word is handpicked and I love it. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Macke does a great job at creating a whole family dynamic with only 2 family members and some rando

    A witty, wounded, and challenging exploration of a family torn apart by rage. It gives a complicated look at the aftermath of what so many of us in the queer community have to leave behind after we come out and get away. A beautiful play.
