Benne has bestowed upon us a feast for the senses and a playground for the soul. There is as much pain as there is hope as there is inspiration.

The language is lush and poetic yet concise. Characters so real you can reach out and touch them yet the world they inhabit defies reality as we know it and slips through your fingers like sand in an hourglass.

A dazzling mastery of the art form and honest to god magic.

A beautiful, hilarious, and gentle coming of age play. The intimacy so deftly depicted here is often incredibly hard to capture onstage, and this piece succeeds both as a highly theatrical read while also being one that explores some really nuanced and multi-dimensional characters. Milo is one of the most human and vividly realized protagonists I've had the privilege of getting to know, and it was also a delight feeling seen as a reader by his story. What a gift of a play that I hope to see a production of soon.

Visceral in the best way possible. Using poetic language, a fluidity of movement and pace, and the perfect amoung of angst, querencia shines as bright as the lights on its carousel.
