    A powerful story of nature and connection in the midst of the coyote call that changes a couple for the better. Learning to cope with loss, to face our fears and what's within and to live for the moments we have beautifully told. Truly moving work!

    Beautifully written play that digs deep under all the ways we hide from ourselves and make our own labyrinths in our minds and hearts, closing ourselves off to our loved ones too. I really like the way Baldwin gets at the problems sideways. Baldwin writes our normal every day world with so much packed in underneath, I am still unraveling it all. . .
