Ah, the hope, the tension, the beer, the fear, and the desire! This play captures the intricate workings of the heart during a difficult time, and makes you realize that patience can be very beautiful. Look to the stars!

Lately, I've been fascinated by the relationship between love and belief, and this play is such a unique exploration of this idea! This is a beautifully written, character-driven short that is simultaneously subtle and sublime. It is specific to this moment in history, yet uniquely universal. All of the details about MUFON added a satisfying amount of specificity that made the world of the play even more vivid and dimensional. The transformation we observe in both characters from the beginning to the end of the piece is incredibly natural. This is a relatable, emotional, funny, nerdy, socially distanced play!

UFOs, nerds, and a gruelingly detailed drop-down menu! It’s like Emily McClain wrote this just for me!

Hark and Laurel are sublimely and breathtakingly funny. The details that comprise the notes of their conversation and contretemps are downright symphonic in scope. Marvelously individuated characters on a night both ordinary and unlike all others during a unique period in history.

This play captures their passion for oddity and the extraordinary, opening their arms wide hoping to find the tiniest connection in an infinity of possibilities that may never come to pass. Like clusters of distant galaxies, SHAPE is beautiful.
