    It's been a few years since I was lucky enough to see a reading of this play, and I think about it all the time. THE LONELY offers an outstanding examination of privilege in queer spaces. I want more audiences to experience Andrew's work and experience this play's message!

    This play SLAPS! The stakes were so high, the language is sharp in every direction, and it brings up such a relevant issue of white queerness privilege. Had a blast reading it, and will gladly read it again.

    This play is a wonderful blend of fantasy and truth. I love that some of our well known literary figures are together in one room. Some of the lines wound, some of them delight, and many of them make you ponder race, class, and privilege.
