    Maximalist, bananas, delicious, vivacious, laugh out loud funny. A queer explosion of bonkers farcical hilarity. I will never see J*jo S*wa the same way again.

    It was a joy to read this script. Loved Tristan’s free association moment and when Tristan and Alma share intense cell phone moments. A great group of characters tangled in love connections and the search for clout.

    Expansive, complex, and, above all, hilarious, this play is fantastic! It has a sprawling, satirical feel and the farce is sharp and incisive about the things it examines--class, race, ethnicity, pop culture, influencers, celebrity, and more. I so loved how the humor arose organically from the situations and relationships--the jokes were a welcome and genuine necessity to the storytelling. I also appreciated the exploration of intersections of sexuality, race, age, and gender. It feels somewhat "classical" in structure, but so, so on point for today. Some gorgeous, poignant, quiet moments...

    I was lucky to have been able to watch this as a reading as part of the 2022 Sin Muros: A Borderless Teatro Festival. In her three-act whirlwind party, Dawes expertly balances an outrageous farce with some of the most tender romantic moments I've seen in a play. Dawes tackles race, class, gender and sexuality while you try not to bust a rib from laughing. The final moment of this play is a total jaw-dropper. I hope to be able to see this get a full production ASAP!

    A wildly funny adaptation that truly embraces the balance of 1600s comedy structure and Gen Z vibes. The play’s self awareness only lends itself to the endless comedy of errors. Never thought a person could bring soliloquies into the 21st century, but Dawes’s creative use of Instagram is only one of the many creative updates showcased in this comedy.
