    This is such a fun and well written play! The history of the swans is a nice little touch, and the development of the characters makes you genuinely love the play.

    I really do recommend this play to others. There was a clear intent to why Minigan wrote it, and the interactions between Ellie and Violet have serious and humorous beats alike.

    A quick and witty 10 minute play that covers deep questions about the frustrating truths that come with discovering your sexuality. Super quick and light read!
