    A terrific science-fiction story that is both simple to stage and full of incredible depth. A piece about reconnection, grief, and finally hearing words unsaid. (Bonus: unexpected and heartwarming interpretations of insect behavior!)

A heartfelt story.

    A lovely play that looks at the complexities of memory and grieving a parent. This piece also poses questions about the wonders and weirdness of technology while staying true to the story at hand. John Mabey works in humor in just the right ways. I would love to see this play on stage.
