    A truly fascinating journey. I felt almost like I was on a roller coaster ride! Tight story and very natural dialogue - the characters were honest and interesting. Sharai Bohannon has created a wonderful world of a life and consequences and the play is certainly worthy of production. Brava!

    A wonderfully cinematic and exhilarating journey. Bohannon has crafted a world and characters that feel real, vulnerable, and at times all too familiar. A funny, fascinating, enthralling play that deserves to find life on the stage.

    Every character is a complete package and it’s fun to see what each new person brings to the script. Maggie and her situation feels oh so real and then tension when everything comes crashing down! Little details round out this piece. Well done!
