    An incredibly powerful piece on gun violence in schools and the numbers that never make math the same. Fantastic work.

    A huge topic boiled down to a simple point thanks to the perspective coming from the shattered inoccence of a child. Donna uses basic math to spotlight the massive impact mass shootings are having in our society in a way only a powerful playwright could. This is poignant work.

    A play so boldly about numbers you might forget who is telling the story: a child only instantly too wise about the world. The stasis of the child may be the stasis of our country, the U.S.A. Donna Hoke makes moves here that I haven't ever quite come across. This is stunningly deft, poignant writing worthy of any evening or anthology concerning gun control.
