This play has achieved the impossible--taking an entire neighborhood and placing it on a one-set theatre stage. Each neighbor, gossip, auntie and uncle that cycles through Inky and Celina's world as they try to build their own small corner of Koreatown adds to the eccentricity and liveliness of the play (not to mention the hilarious pastor who is powerwalking and stretching outside). A true cultural gem of a play with iconic imagery of a single red painted nail for good luck.

ACETONE WISHES & PLEXIGLASS DREAMS patches up the empty cracks in your heart you didn't know you had sustained. Celina and Inky are one of the freshest romantic pairings I've seen in ages; these are no manic pixie dream lovers, carrying quirks for the sake of a personality. Instead, they are both the now-adult children of a gossiping neighborhood that loves them, and two lineages plagued by ghosts and regrets. There is room for both magic and hope in this tender, human celebration of Korean culture.

Beautiful and immensely theatrical play that looks at family baggage, inherited trauma, grief, recovery, and the complex meaning of "home." I just loved how all of the characters were rendered with depth and humanity and nuance, and these scenes containing small seismic character shifts coincided with some bold theatrical strokes in terms of visual design and double/triple/quadruple casting of the adults. There is a vivid sense of place provided even with very few actor bodies onstage. The tensions and growth between Celina and Inky (and within themselves) were majorly impactful while subtly-drawn. I'd love to see it produced!
