    “ A lovely tour de force for two actors. The characters are authentic and engrossing from start to finish. The technical demands are simple, so the audience is able to focus on the words, the characters, and the emotions. ”

    “ This play broke my heart into about 400 pieces, and I mean that in the best way. It's rare that a play makes me cry from just reading it, but this one did. It is so honest and raw and the ending is one of the bravest I've read. ”

    “ I love this play, heartbreaking but mostly a story about love, genuine, honest love. And love that needed some healing. This is perhaps my favorite piece I've read on NPX to date. ”
