“
A powerful look into the experience of surviving in a world of PTSD and domestic violence where the power of music plays a major role in healing. Well done. ”

“
The desert serves as a beautiful, scorched backdrop for this play that deals with haunting violence. The threat of violence within a couple's marriage, the violence of war still raging inside the mind of a veteran, and the comfort and playfulness of the protagonist's job working with children in a library all work together to explore complex relationships. ”

“
This gorgeous play weaves the pain of the fractured love between a storytelling woman and her veteran husband with the healing power of music. Paula Cizmar's characters are heartbreaking, authentic and human, her language lush, the setting evocative. ”
