Extraordinary dialogue that feels deeply researched without distancing its audience from the truth of these character's lives. This is a play without monsters - only human beings who do monstrous things. We're left with a play that is complicated, challenging, and confronting. This one will stick with audiences long after it's over.

This is a brilliant and engrossing play that uses the story of a newly married couple in the 1850s to explore how the institution of slavery corrupted the souls of those who owned slaves. It doesn't flinch from exploring how the family and the home were sites of violence during slavery but does so sensitively and compellingly. I highly recommend it and would love to see a full production.

I love how incredibly thoroughly researched this play feels! And, in speaking with the playwright, it's clear that she consumed a lot of literature and really lived in the world of this play for a long time before and while writing. Considering the content, that is an amazing feat of emotional labor.
I highly recommend reading this play and I would love to see it produced!
