    An incredible story of what it means to survive heartbreak and break out with a greater power, while at the same time honestly questioning our choices. Well done.

    This play is a miracle of structure and character. It unfolds like an elegant fan, each side telling different perspectives of a complicated story that converges as it refolds. A sexy, daring burlesque noir.

    Also, Stage Kitten! (She kittens the stage.)

    Bringing together so many important themes and topics while also amazingly playing with form and structure is something I love and seek out. This play does all of it very well. Highly recommend.

    I love this play, its honesty, the complexity of its characters, and the unflinching way it examines consent and betrayal as it impacts even the most sex-positive among us. A genuinely sexy, surprising, satisfying play that drops its audience into a thicket of contemporary issues and refuses to take the easy way out.

    I reviewed this play a few years ago and it's a powerful triangle revolving around obsession, betrayal, and what it means to strip oneself down for performance. It's amazing to see a play with LGBT and paraplegic that doesn't feel exploitive or thinly rendered. It's amazing what can be done on stage with just three people, a fascinating concept, and sharp-witted dialogue.
