This family DRAMA takes an inside look at an almost impossible situation in a way that is both tender, complex, and very real.. and it has twists that you won't ever see coming. Don't sleep on this play!

Reminiscent of family dramas such as "Next to Normal" and "Ordinary People," this compelling and rich play explores how one family copes with a devastating and traumatic event. Their journey towards healing and reconciliation is heartfelt and realistic. Halton is a playwright who loves his characters deeply--everyone is flawed, but no one is the villain, and everyone is believable. There is also a healthy dose of humor and laugh-out-loud lines through the play.

A complex family drama with aching, hurting characters whose conflicts feel poignant, understandable, and frustrating in their truth. I appreciated Halton's exploration of addiction, healing from trauma, and family with an intersectional lens. All of the characters who could've been archetypes--addicted mom, angry daughter, distant father--are in fact rendered with dimensionality and compassion. I'm eager to follow this play's trajectory of development and would love to see it realized onstage.
