“ An unsettling and compellingly theatrical piece that examines the ways violence is rooted in fear. The relationship between Lydia and Boy is a chilling nucleus that the play revolves around, and Marshall and Trey provide an interesting counterpoint. Character revelations about Trey juxtaposed to Boy illuminate different models of dysfunctional masculinity in intriguing ways. Bentley-Quinn's naturalistic/lyrical language is elegant and spare and gives a parable-like quality to the piece. Would be compelling to see these stage images come together live and in person! ”

“ I don't know why this play hasn't been produced everywhere. This play is an intimate, heartbreaking exploration of the self-destructive power that fear has, more and more, in our culture. It refuses to flatten a destructive young man into a 'monster' or his mother into a victim. We need to be looking closer. ”
