This play is a feat. Jake's wizardry (or is it sleight of hand?), twisting time around these precious characters and story, is mad-genius level. I left the theater like, how did he DO that-- in awe. And, on top of the guitar-solo-behind-the-head level of difficulty, this is a genuinely moving, deeply felt work. All the characters are considered and cared for, which is a true rarity in this type of comedy. Another one of the playwright's gifts that defines his unique style.

HOR-ny OW-ls *clap clap clap-clap-clap*

SPIN weaves a theatrical tapestry of interconnected characters over the course of their lifetimes (and sometimes beyond). This play makes me belly laugh out loud, shed silent tears, and think about our place in the universe. I genuinely can't wait to see a production of this play.

Characters as familiar as they are unique; intertwined paths of choice and fate; captivating speech and fluency of scenes ... everything is so simultaneously subtle yet significant, poignant and powerful ... This is one of those unique stories that an only be told through the lens of theater, and this playwright does so with immense grace and wit, yielding such a sweet and memorable compassion for life. Everything is strange, and yet it makes so much sense. Beautiful.

Beautiful, hilarious, and dare I say kinda sexy? An amazing puzzle of a play that touches on themes of death, reincarnation, and the never ending search for love and meaning.

Wildly funny and poignant, the eclectic collection of folks Brasch explores and illuminates here are delightful and endearing. That we both see the characters at varying ages and stages, and the actors playing various characters at time, the universality of these humans' search for satisfaction and identity and meaning in others and themselves is highlighted in a moving way. Loved the extended imagery/metaphors surrounding birds and flight.
