    Brilliant use of language to express the ineffable. What more can anyone say?

    This play tugs on the heart strings and offers a front seat into the reality of grief. The play on words, scene shifts and use of flashback serve the story well. But it's the characters and their unfolding realities that kept me on the edge of my seat.

    I love the poetic cadence the dialogue has in this play. Yee's use of repetition helps the story unwind in a really elegant way, revealing a brutally sad story that is also full of heart and humor.

    I saw this in Chicago at Strawdog a few years ago and was immediately struck by this play's command of language and willingness to go to uncomfortable places. Sometimes there isn't justice; sometimes it's just us. Highly recommend!

    A beautiful play about loss and forgiveness. Yee uses unexpected imagery and witty word play to take us Fiona’s journey through grief. This is a quirky, lovely play.
