    Beautifully visual and tightly crafted. I would love to see this performed with each character having the space to bring forth their unique take. I feel like this is a play from which you would take away different things each time you saw it.

    As one who exhibits definite hoarder-like tendencies, this short but powerful piece hit home. Visually fascinating and challenging, you’ll relate and feel with (and for) these women. A strong statement on consumerism and the desire to leave behind a meaningful legacy. Lovely, sad, and hopeful.

    A short and powerful protest against consumerism, and whether our actions do indeed reflect our true selves.
