    The storyline beautifully encapsulates the struggles of the protagonists within a society that grows increasingly intolerant. It delves into themes of discrimination, societal norms, and the pursuit of acceptance and inclusivity. It serves as a powerful commentary on the need for a more embracing and compassionate world.

    A compelling piece that offers an exploration of and commentary on sizism, queerness (both literally and somewhat allegorically), the evolution of social momentum and bias, and much more. By setting it in a world that feels so familiar, yet is a half step removed from our own, Doolin does an amazing job of incisively digging into an issue that for many is in the realm of unconscious bias and shines a mirror on assumptions and beliefs and attitudes that audience members might not have questioned. The characters are human and funny and interesting. Love to see it staged!

    What a gem to find on the NPX homepage -- finally a play that attacks sizism with humor, frankness, and innovation. I applaud E.K. Doolin for such relevant and brave commentary, and for so skillfully weaving religion and some other beautiful themes and images into it.

    This play shook me. It hit me in all the right places. The world this takes place in is not far off from the world we currently occupy. When people who claim to know exactly what God wants and what God hates (God is love?) and they can see clearly what they perceive to be sin, they become cruel and dangerous. And that's what makes this play so heart-breaking, frightening and real. This needs to be staged and attention must be paid.
