    A hysterical riff on Shakespeare that will break your heart. The pressures these students go through feel so hyper-specific and universal at the same time. Lin has a gift for writing ambitious teenagers. The final scene is utterly stunning.

    Sharp and incisive satire which captures the "largesse" of Shakespeare using a totally different and no less
    bombastic brand of heightened theatricality than the Bard uses. I loved the rhythms of the piece, the completely differentiated and distinct characters, and the central shifting dynamic between Kaashvi, Priyanka, and Bailey. What a wonderful ensemble piece whose humor is derived from the many truths about competition, relationships, success, and self-image, especially between folks living at complex identity intersections. I'd so love to see this staged!

    WOW - what a gripping piece. I started this last night and literally got annoyed at my children for making me stop reading in order to like, feed them and put them to bed. What a compelling play - delicious roles for young actors in a truly exciting contemporary take on JC. Loved this so much! Hope it gets produced!

    This play is incredible and everything I could hope for in a teenage Julius Caesar adaptation. It is both funny and uber-serious, because everything in the lives of Kaashvi, Priyanka, Bailey, and all the others is just that high-stakes. Their dialogue and feelings are truthful and believable, while easily rising to (and perhaps even surpassing) the momentous level of high-stakes-ness of the original characters from the source material. I would love to see this play performed!!!
