    “ Perfection! This fabulous ten-minute play encapsulates so much of the new parent angst, the worry, the FEAR that — We're probably just messing our kids up. Such a smart premise, and the Baby Monitor as time portal is a brilliant piece of theatricality. ”

    “ Flynn’s widely creative “The Ferberizing of Coral” is not only comedic, it possesses a rich plot that disregards the concept of time. We watch this child grow up before our eyes, displaying the stress of parenting and how inexperience only fuels this stress. An amazing piece that deserves the recognition it has received. ”

    “ Very imaginative as well as funny, but it's not just funny - a whole heap of assumptions comes into play - and the play really takes a look at a lot of societal ideas about parenting and development and it's dark, and it's also funny! Wonderfully written! ”
