    The parallel situation between mother and son speaks volumes about what is often unspoken in families. The play culminates in a stunning scene when all secrets are laid bare, and the playwright adroitly handles the emotional devastation that results. Fine characters, innovative storytelling, a sterling work.

    I enjoyed reading this play. The dialogue is funny and does a subtle job of communicating the underlying emotional state of characters without being "on the nose."

    This is an engaging comedy that plays with love, sex and commitment at all stages of life. It's refreshing to see a role for a woman on the cusp of fifty exploring her sexuality and coming into her own. It's a twist on the coming-of-age story only the protagonist is a middle-aged woman! Even when dealing with secrets and betrayals, the play retains it lightness of being.
