A poignant, fun, and downright funny paean to young friendship and growing apart. The two leads are well drawn and relatable to audiences of all ages. The surrealistic aspects work well and are integrated perfectly with the rest of the piece.

There is an intensity, a manic ferocity to girlhood that many writers fail to capture. It's easy to revel in mean girl tropes, or delight in the supportive, diverse friend group, but much trickier to admit that the much thornier beast are the girl-friends -- and girlfriends -- whose identities are tied to their friendships so desperately that it has a risk of disfiguring them. In "Estbray Iendsfray," Emmy Kuperschmid absolutely nails this shade of tweenage/teenage devotion with humor, emotion, and expert script-craft. This is a play -- and playwright -- to watch!
