“ A beautifully crafted, unique, hilarious, and poignant piece about relationships and connection. As Roblan traces the evolving relationships of Anya, Alex, Justin, and Misty, she dives into several interesting conversations about and explorations of both conventional unconventional desire and fantasy and their intersections with and divergences from the need for intimacy, connection, and sense of purpose. All of these central characters are well-rendered, and I was so compelled by how atmospheric and well-established the environment was just through dialogue and the small window into these humans' day to day lives. The ending is satisfying, melancholy, truthful, and human. ”

“ I cannot say what I expected from a play with the words "Vore" and "into centaurs (like, sexually)" in the description but I'm so glad I stumbled on this play. What a strange, niche set of concepts somehow used to access some very universal feelings of unreachable loneliness. If you want a play that rips into the aching feelings of isolation as a human being, eat this play up in an afternoon. ”

“ It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Alexis Roblan and their play You Feel So Far Away Right Now as a finalist for our 2017 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 55 finalists out of more than 1,300 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers especially responded to play’s unique meld of genres and its examination of human connection and intimacy. ”
