A marvelous and imaginative fairy tale capturing the experience of doing this work together and whether the cost is too much. Fascinating and well done. ”

“
What a wonderful play so full of mystery, and magic, and, most of all, imagination. Such a beautiful story; I was swept right in and couldn't stop reading, all the while wanting to see it at the same time. This is the kind of play that makes you sad there just aren't enough opportunities for all the plays that deserve them. ”
