    What a funny, original, and poignant play. In about 30 short pages, Harris rendered Jerry and Tyler's relationship with such complexity and nuance, I felt like I'd known them for quite a bit longer--in fact, I'd love to read a full length two-hander starring these brothers. In short, potent scenes Harris elegantly establishes and follows through on each character's wants and needs, and the dramatic action is always focused on the two young men. The use of mime is an excellent extended metaphor and I loved how queerness was just a subtly drawn fact of life. Beautiful!

    Harris' does a very compelling job when it comes to displaying the complexity of relationships between siblings. The characters are unique and both entertaining in their own ways.

    Harris' play is one that evokes curiosity and imagination. While staying completely authentic, the characters are able to explore a world full of misunderstandings, non-verbal communication, and love.

    This play delightfully and authentically describes the complexity of a sibling turned parental dynamic. The added element of the miming just adds to their experiences finding themselves and each other.

    This play is a beauty, deserving every single one of its accolades. The relationship of these brothers, at once both lost and found, is so precisely and poignantly portrayed by Harris we can't help but be drawn into their lives, and once there, completely captivated by these two disparate yet similar siblings. A gorgeous piece of writing that I imagine works even better on stage, and a feast for the two actors lucky enough to play these roles.

    Relationships between siblings can be complex... or so we'd like to think in order to explain away our own feelings about our brothers or sisters. In this poignant and often touching story, the relationship between Jerry and Tyler -- two very different people -- is achingly inarticulate... and that's the beauty of it. Neither of them can really say how they feel, so they act it out in their own way. I would love to see this on stage.

    Harris does a fantastic job developing the compelling relationship between two brothers as one brother takes on the role of guardian. Both characters are ultimately human and seeing the two characters struggle to get what they want from each other makes for a play that is worth the investment!

    A very cute, funny, and heartfelt story about two brothers having to battle life by themselves. This play allows us to dig deeper and take a closer look into the relationship between and older and younger brother.

    Harris provided a very interesting new insight on the relationship between brothers of different dynamics and about one accepting the other. I truly enjoyed it and Harris gives a great new insight on a situation like this.
