A well-constructed short that reminds the audience there is more context to every stranger whose behaviour may confuse or irritate you, whether you’re lucky enough to have their story rolled out for you in such a dramatically satisfactory way.

Easily one of Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn’s best works, yet one not relying on her signature sense of humor. Rather it is infused with her sense of humanity, another hallmark of her writing. Like Marco the security guard, I think everyone will want to give Melody a hug. Lovely work deserving of all its success.

Filled with surprises, happy and poignant, this is a play that begs to be produced. The role of Melody is a gift to actresses and the guards who letdown their guard are flesh and bone and nuanced. Charming and sweet with the knowledge of what can be robbed from you for no reason at all. Abstract art. Abstract life.
