    This complex mother/daughter relationship deepens as more aspects are revealed. Their relationship is also placed in the context of historical struggles and current political realities. Their differing perspectives on the historical struggle throw the issues in their relationship into bold relief. Ultimately and satisfyingly their bond proves to be stronger than their differences. This is a compellingly structured piece with an urgent story to tell.

    A beautiful play with a deep, complex, and moving mother-daughter relationship. I zipped through this play, compelled by each page and nuance of their struggle, as they try to come to terms with each other. The joy is watching them learn more about who they are as individuals and who they are together The dialogue is pitch perfect, and the idea of watching actors make bread onstage is tantalizing -- not to mention a great metaphor for their journey. A wonderful play that I'd love to see live.

    Sometimes we don't understand the larger picture because we forget the history behind all of our rights and the fight to continue to improve matters. A revelation we must keep in mind.
