    Lucy Fields subtly explores the idea of finding one's identity through the seemingly trivial action of selecting new work shoes. This play touches on the dynamics of friendship and the impact of shared experiences. The casting note emphasizing a queer relationship adds a refreshing and inclusive dimension to the narrative. Additionally, the incorporation of pop culture references, like "The Office," contributes to the play's relatability. I undeniably enjoyed reading “Sole Crushing.”

    Fascinating play. Feels very “real”. The characters interactions with each other are believable and humorous. Loved the back and forth between them. Really deserves a production.
