I've always loved Amy's writing, but this one especially moved me. Very rarely do queer and bisexual women get the sort of complex representation that Amy gives them in this play. The strange space of competition, inspiration, and desire is something my most important female friendships all hold. I felt so seen as a woman, writer, and possible mother reading this -- in a way that transcends just passing the Bechdel test. YES!
