    Funny and sweet. The play volleys between witticisms about insects to the emotionally biting realties of family.

    Clever and very creative. A short piece about parenting and what you can and can’t make up after the kid is all grown up. I enjoyed the humor and humanity explored in the play’s brief pages.

    What a beautiful play, in words and thoughts and how it plays out. This play deserves to be seen by many and read by everyone!

    I have a deep belief that Strindberg would study this play to Time's end.

    A playwright who thought outside the box to capture her human drama. A short, powerful play about parenting, abandonment, regrets, forgiveness and reconciliation -- all examined beautifully through a comparison between insects/humans. We're bug-like when we go through life with a tough-exterior (an exoskeleton) that hides our heartache and pain; we take flight like the beetle to escape our obligations and responsibilities. The confrontation in the classroom provides some laughs and some poetic insight into what it's like being human and a mother/father/child.
