    I loved how intimate yet boldly theatrical this play is.

    This play is incredibly raw and vulnerable. Your heart pangs at the pain that O experiences throughout the play. This play showcases the challenges of interracial queer relationships and the detrimental wounds that white women can inflict on black women.

    A powerful, honest and poetic play that explores the complexity of queer, interracial love. A gorgeous play that I hope is produced over and over again, highly recommend it.

    This play is incredible. Amara Brady is so tender towards both of her characters even while showing their glaring flaws. Every time I thought to myself "O just needs to end it. She needs to end this." We're given a really sweet and lovely moment between the two of them. It is unflinching in its examination of queer love and interracial love and also how messy it can get when two people are pursuing dreams in a similar field, especially one as exciting and devastating as theatre. I cannot wait to see where this play goes.

She needs to end this." We're given a really sweet and lovely moment between the two of them. It is unflinching in its examination of queer love and interracial love and also how messy it can get when two people are pursuing dreams in a similar field, especially one as exciting and devastating as theatre. I cannot wait to see where this play goes.
