    For those looking for meaty and complex LGBTQ characters, read this play! All four characters create rich intersections of identity to explore. I love the touch of the gothic as well-- the characters who have passed but still haunt us, the house that holds secrets, and the ghosts of family trauma that make the past into the present. I highly recommend.

    A moving and emotional play from start to end. Yasmin excels in making these characters truly human. You want them to succeed and be happy, even when the road seems difficult.

    I was sucked into this play from the start and 111 pages flew by. What a captivating story about the things from our pasts that hold us hostage and the ways in which we try to break free. I loved it!
