    Sometimes all it takes is for someone to see a light within us that we have yet to see. Thank you for this beautiful piece and for crafting these characters into relatable women with complexity and heart.

    This is such a moving and powerful piece. A story between two friends who were more like sisters, and how despite them drifting apart, there is still love for one another. Lamedman does a fantastic job with the staging and characterizations here, and created such a complex and compelling play.
