In this play, Heather Beasley takes an authentic, grounded look at a difficult mother/daughter relationship as they take on a difficult task. Decluttering can bring up so many memories and emotions, and M and D's journey with that resonated with me. And, as a coder/programmer myself, I loved the way that D's attachment to logic and structure, her methods of working, informed how she was able to connect and communicate. I would love to see this play performed!

A poignant and intimate exploration of family, grief, care-taking, and aging. I truly loved that Heather eschewed manufactured theatrics and unnecessarily life or death stakes in favor of telling a nuanced, complex, and human story. The running metaphors and motifs related to gaming were also perfect figurative complements to the literal story. The slow removal of possessions from the stage was another elegant, symbolic thread that illuminated the ebbs and flows of M and D's relationship and individual character arcs. Eager to see this onstage!
