    Sweet, lovely— with knockout comedy moments and honest vulnerability. I love that it can be adapted for all genders.

    Perfect for the stage, this tender piece follows two partners who are struggling to rebuild physical intimacy after one has undergone trauma. There's a lot for the actors to dig into and work with here.

    Violette does a great job of creating triggers and moments of danger that drive the characters away from each other in this beautifully relatable play about intimacy after trauma. I also appreciate the title that spins several ways.
