    We included this play in our high school senior-directed one-act festival and it felt very important for our students and audiences. Four strong female roles dealing with issues that are sadly not very far from the subtle dystopian atmosphere in the play.

    Seeing how a family of young mothers grow up, giving each other advice that may or may not be helpful, felt real...but the dystopian crept in soon enough. Sensitive and graceful.

    a generational tumble into a nightmare that is inching closer to reality. Keeps you just disoriented enough that you won't see the gutpunch coming. But it's coming.
