Picked this up at The Drama Book Shop in New York.

Absolutely loved this play! The relationships between the characters are so raw and believable. The non-linear approach creates a wonderful mystery aspect that allows the viewer to put the puzzle together after viewing the individual pieces. Definitely a beautiful and well written exploration in grief and the lives affected by a loss.

I saw this beautiful play during its 2022 run at Essential Theatre. It's a moving experience, drawing us into an exquisitely twisting-turning-tangling cat's cradle of love and grief. John creates so many moments of complicated tension and tenderness between characters. The nonlinear structure conjures grief's associative, out-of-time collage of emotion and memory, and also finally provides the complicated hope the audience yearns for.

A lovely, moving piece painted with the delicate, deft hand of playwright John Mabey. "Glimmers of hope in the hogwash" captures this play beautifully--raw and real and yet lyrical. Understanding, compassionate. Mabey loves his characters: you will too.
