    “ Bridgette captures a mother's grief and the anger she feels toward Mother Nature that caused her young daughter's drowning. Very poetic and a release of feeling that enables the mother to choose life and to reconnect with her lost daughter through her journal. Powerful. ”

    “ Yes, oceans are sometimes the only thing large enough to hold our grief, and this one refuses to do that! How large it all feels! How impossible to surmount! I love the scale of this short but intense impactful piece. I love how Nature is so much larger than the humans in the play. And I love how the final response/action can be a movement toward creation. ”

    “ I didn't expect this play to go where it did, but appreciated this exploration of grief, the unyielding human need for explanation and reason, when, in truth, there isn't any. Beautifully done. ”

    “ A play about loss, personal and environmental, and the implacable forces of nature that don't much care what we think or feel. This is a marvelous opportunity for theatre magic and physical theatre work as the ocean comes on stage, tosses the human, and recedes again. A beautiful poem of a play that haunts. ”
