So much lightness and kindness and humour and hope in a show about something unspeakably sad. Dominic has a beautifully delicate touch with both dialogue and characters, and creates something intricate, nuanced, and very deeply human. I saw this in a reading and the audience was palpably, visibly fascinated and moved by the skillful work here.

A crushing and gorgeous story that is somehow both intimate and exploratory. A rare sci-fi play in which worldbuilding never takes anything away from relationships, and only adds to the humanity of the piece.

A powerful story of grief and coping with loss as these characters work their way through. Well done.

This is a quiet and stunning small story about grief. Finocchiaro presents a fascinating sci-fi setup that serves the story well and doesn't distract from its human core. Once Stephen comes into the picture, mom and dad's interactions with him are potent and powerful. I was most impressed at how this play works both as an intimate and nuanced story with well-drawn and multi-dimensional characters, and as a powerful almost-parable about the realities of coping with loss. The ending was both surprising and extremely poignant. The last scene moved me quite a lot with its wise absence of sentimentality.
