    The words that every gay child would want to hear from their parents after coming out. Deray's piece shows poise, promise, and promotes acceptance of someone's sexual affiliation. This is definitely a current and important piece of theatre, seek this one out!

    Perfect! Just damn perfect.
    What starts out as the paternal response every gay child wants or would have wanted to hear, quickly becomes a deeply individual story of love, filled with history and a lifetime of emotion. Just when you think you know what the next sentence will be, Deray throws in a perfect little surprise. With his horror pieces, he's shown great facility in setting up familiar expectations, then surpassing them with a sublime change in direction that maximizes the payoff. It's great to see that skill extending across genres! This is beautiful. Read it. Perform it.

    There's a tenderness in the love of a father for his son that is captured in a way that will touch you deeply. Eytan Deray's skill lies in making his characters touch you without being maudlin or treacly; just honest. This would be a fine audition piece or a stellar moment in a night of theatre.
