    What an enchanting play this is. The ensemble is incredibly well balanced, and each of the characters has a journey of growth despite their individual reluctance for change. The shifting family dynamics are intelligently tempered with inspiration found in botany, exposure to nature, gardening, and Jewish ritual. I felt full when the play ended, like I had spent time beneath the trees.

    I've been thinking about this play a lot lately. A really gorgeous piece about family and gender. I truly hope this play finds more homes as it's one the world is in desperate need of hearing.

    As a non-binary dramaturg and theatermaker, this stands out as one of the absolute best portrayals of a non binary experience in media, let alone the stage. Not only does it graciously negotiate themes of self discovery and failure, it does so with a delicacy and gentleness often lacking in conversations of gender and ignorance

    I really love this play because of its gentle human qualities and sophisticated dramaturgies. As Asher Wyndham said, it remains with you for a long time. I'm such a fan of MJ's work. It should get produced more.

    The world, the atmosphere, the smells, the emotions, the distance between bodies and the coming together of bodies, the humor, the sorrow... A play that will remain with you for a long time.

    A play so unusual without being inaccessible. It was moving, funny, and sorrowful, without dipping too much into any of those wells. A truly original creation, it is unlike any play out there, and I fell madly for it.
