Bravo, Monica Cross! This play is a beautiful example of how to create the complex relationship of two characters in a single minute, with an ending that delivers a powerful reveal.

How in a minute Monica Cross can engage the reader/viewer with emotions. Wow! The use of nostalgia which so many can identify with and with the love of a parent for a child is so poignant, so perfect and so clever. An absolute gem!

There are a few ways to play this delicate, emotionally grounded piece. Two that come to mind are: nostalgia and reconciliation. It all depends on how sanguine Jude is about his mom taking away his favorite things when he was a child. If it's water under the bridge, that's one thing. If that stream is rocky, that's another. Either way it works, but I think the payoff is greater if the journey is more turbulent. Regardless, Jude and Mom are beautifully nuanced characters. Mom has no apologies or regrets and a simply justification. It's poetic.
