I watched the the recent CreateTheater Monday Night Development Series rebroadcast of the TRU Voices Series reading of this gripping play. I found myself completely engrossed in Kym's ethical dilemmna as she struggled to choose between transparency leading to a potential roadblock and academic subterfuge leading either to great success or utter disaster. Minigan does an amazing job of showing us that in academia, as in Shakespeare's world, forming the right alliances and making the right decisions at the right time is everything.

A moving play that explores what happens when we feel like we don't belong. As someone who teaches at a college, I can say that Minigan got all the academic details just right without sacrificing the true relationship drama at the center of the story. Great characters that allow actors to explore complexity of relationship and feeling. Simple set and few characters make for ease of production.

One woman finds herself while another loses herself in this extraordinary and engrossing play. From its erudite exploration of academic ambition to its clear-eyed depiction of the cost and the fear of early onset Alzheimer's, the narrative never ceases to engage and to move beyond facile resolutions. I am in awe of the craft and the insight that inform every page.
