    A powerful story of nature and connection in the midst of the coyote call that changes a couple for the better. Learning to cope with loss, to face our fears and what's within and to live for the moments we have beautifully told. Truly moving work!

    Oh this play stole my heart. At times so funny I thought I was going to pee and then without a warning a moment so perfectly placed the story and the stakes just lock in and the play just makes sense in a whole new way. I loved it. This play also has some gems of dialogue, and 'I'd hate to taint your knobs' is going to stick with me for a while. Wonderful work.

    Beautifully written play that digs deep under all the ways we hide from ourselves and make our own labyrinths in our minds and hearts, closing ourselves off to our loved ones too. I really like the way Baldwin gets at the problems sideways. Baldwin writes our normal every day world with so much packed in underneath, I am still unraveling it all. . .
