We're 17, 27, and 17 again. We’re on your parents' couch, we’re at a concert, we’re drunk, we're finally getting our lives together. You're so far away, you’re a stranger, I'm so high, I love you, I'll always be your best friend. Friendship is a graveyard, your backyard, a haunted house.

Oh hey. Sofya Levitsky-Weitz wrote a play about my best friend from high school and me. There's so much universality within the specificity here of the things young women struggle with in their teens and 20s, and I love how the story toggles back and forth in time between Jean and Meril at 17 and 27. It's a wonderful study of two girls trying to make it to adulthood unscathed, the things that haunt them, and how easy it is to be casually cruel to the ones you love the most. So great!

I read this play in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. The way Levitsky-Weitz plays with time in this piece is masterful, and paints a beautiful (scary) picture of friendship, and how the ones we love can sometimes hurt us the most.
