“
I loved this play. What a powerful illustration of the idea of someone smart who has ears to hear growing and changing. I saw lots of parallels in Charity's arc with the real life story Megan Phelps-Roper and her relationship with Westboro and her mother, but played in such a way that's applicable to many, many people and relationships. And—that ending. What an excellent ending! I really want to see a production of this play. ”

“
I was honestly afraid to read this at first. The subject matter, religion through hate, is so very upsetting and triggering. But I'm glad I made it through to the end. It was actually quite beautiful, watching Charity struggle through the messiness of her Biblical convictions and interpretations. Just like in real life, we don't get an ending wrapped up with a bow, but we do get hope. And I loved that. ”
