Selected for 2024-25 Salon Reading Series - Angels Theatre Co.
Vacillating between the slapstick and the uncomfortable, Lubischer provides an exploration of the van Acren family at a time of expected and unexpected upheaval. He expertly switches between modes while maintaining believability. Lubischer’s skill lies in keeping his characters on the edge of absurdity; leading to a truthful and often poignant exploration of grief, identity, and what it means to hold on too long, or not long enough.

A play that surprises readers from the start. A play about the way people deal with loss in different ways. Loved how this play depicts a rural community without using stereotypes. Would love to see this produced one day. It's a play that should be produced all over.

Alex's piece bursts with life and energy from the first page - leading you in with a surprising hook and keeping you on your toes with twists and turns as it unravels. It is also so unbelievably funny - one of the funniest plays I've ever had the pleasure of seeing - and one that had an audience gasping for breath between moments of gut-busting laughter. Beneath the hilarity is a strong emotional core and a mediation on grief that I found both profound and moving. The kind of play you just fall in love with.
