A powerful piece about redemption after capitalizing on a sick culture of perfection at all costs, of playing above the even field. What is the best course after the damage? How can we make amends? Well done!

A really interesting and reflective play. Sam's distillation of the pitfalls of our success-based academic culture is poignant and timely. What really makes the play, however, is an acute sense of place (Sam evokes to brilliant effect his hometown of Highland Park, Illinois) and a melancholic nostalgia. The play cast a spell over me in its New School production.

An of-the-moment story that gets at timeless problems, the language and relationships build to a complex intersection of lives either at breaking points, in stasis, or painstakingly moving forward. Great play!
