The Funeral of Milly James

    I marvel at Mindy's ability to flesh out not just a character who isn't even here, but her relationships with others over such a short period of time. Not only that, but her ability to have them tell informative stories that don't feel like exposition -- rather like I'm part of this church group myself. On top of all of that, the ending made me gasp! Excited to see this become a fixture in ten minute play festivals soon!
