    The opening scene of this play bends the common vision of space and other worlds, building into a story in which the world we know is colored and shaped through the powerful and blunt emotions of the characters. Words are presented in a way that's natural and stylish in a way that matches the online chatspeak in which the main characters communicate. The blending of short fragments of sentences and the fascinatingly formed longer lines give a sensation akin to calmly drifting through space, freed from gravity, hoping to find someone else reaching out.

    This is a beautiful play. Loneliness and depression are difficult topics that could have easily made this a dark play but Gina Femia still found a way to incorporate humor and hope. Everything felt very real and natural. A truly wonderful play.
