    Reading this in 2024 brings back all the memories of our fear and concern and how we took such steps to avoid each other and the virus. For some luck ones of us, we had family to live with and that kept the loneliness wolf away. But, I can imagine other people, especially those with neuro-divergence and issues, who must have had the most excruciatingly difficult time surviving day to day. Paul Donnelly has provided a snapshot of this experience that rings true, Well done!

    I had the pleasure of hearing this play out loud. It's gripping, moving, and heart wrenching, all at the same time. It does a great job of exemplifying the fears and loneliness of the pandemic.

    I love this sweet, sad, uplifting play. It captures the feelings of isolation and awkward neighbor conversations during the height of the pandemic, but also touches on the struggles neuro-divergent people have with connecting. The plea for connection, the fear of that actually happening, and the anxiety we all had is mixed into very heartwarming and authentic conversation. Really loved this!
