    Ah, bless Kay for her patience in this conversation play! This is a fascinating look into two vastly different opinions and I for one, rightly or wrongly, took a side, but as a step father myself, I feel I'm justified. Both characters are truly believable and I felt as I were in the office with them. Great!

    A fascinating conversation about motherhood and some of the reasons why people have children but which few are brave enough to say out loud. I love Annabel's directness and honesty in this ten-minute two-hander, and the way she inadvertently causes her co-worker Kay to think along similar and very honest lines.

    Elana Gartner’s “Tag on Toe” is an honest look at awkward, over sharing, conversations that happen everyday in the workplace. Conversations that shouldn’t happen in the workplace, but do. The conversations we have, we regret, and we can’t forget. conversations we think about and can change us. So real, I felt like I was in the room.
