    Barbot does an excellent job blending genres and blurring lines in this top-notch example of Latinx/magical realism. I feel like I could read this over and over again and keep distilling new meaning from it. On top of that, the language is specific and natural. Don't miss this haunting piece!

    This play is a punch in the gut in the best way. Equal parts delightful and heart-wrenching, anyone would be lucky to see it.

    I love this play. It skillfully blends the traditions of magical realism and nerd theatre to tell a heart-breaking story of two siblings loving each other to death while pursuing their dreams. It's a play about the meaning of home (mythical/ancestral vs. contested/temporary/"real") and the power of stories.

    Such a fun, magical, and deeply touching coming of age story about identity, fantasy, and video games. Grounded by a beautifully-rendered sibling relationship, a strong but unstable bond strained by their diverging approaches to dealing with their difficult reality.

    A fun ride with beautifully painful moments and just the right amount of comedy. This is a story that makes you examine your own place in the world.

    A strong story about the harshness of reality and the allure of fantasy spearheaded by two fascinating characters. Barbot explores sibling relationships and coming of age in a way that feels fresh. So sad I missed the reading of this play a few weeks ago, but now can't wait till I see it produced.

    This is one of my favorite plays for so many reasons. In addition to being an imaginative take on the coming of age story, it's magical realism at its best. The sibling relationship at its core is real and raw and heartbreaking. I've been lucky enough to see this play develop, I now want to see it be produced!
