    Gorgeous, urgent, raw, and essential. This piece is a journey full of pain *and* hope—-and I look forward to seeing this in production. Beautiful.

    Wow! And then triple that. This play is so powerful. So raw and real and just speaks to how many people feel in the world right now. The people who don't understand the the realness of disenfranchisement should have this play tattooed on their souls if they can find them. What a beautiful piece of writing that just carries into a song of hope for us all. I want to jump into your river of tears. I want to swim with you to the new and promised land!
