    This short play packs a whole lot of heartbreak and deep soul-aching questions within its six pages. It is deftly topical and necessary.

    I love the mystery of where and when this play takes place. Noah has a fantastic monologue that I'd love to see actors take on.

    A haunting piece in every sense, this play left me with more questions than answers -- a fitting trait for a topic that the United States can't seem to find an answer to. The writing is lovely, and Williams has fine-tuned the mood with an expert hand.
