    This is a romp to read and would be a hoot to see live. Philip captures a very specific essence of self reflection while also talking about squids that brings my heart to my soul to my brain to those around me. Very beautiful language and very heartwarming in a weird way. Love when science is used in theatre and this play engages in just that. Big applause for this one

    I greatly appreciate the beginning of this script and how it cares for and guides the audience/actors. I like how the script uses lessons about squids to encourage self-reflection. This script is a gift to whoever gets to participate in a performance.
