Very nice short piece. I felt the claustrophobia, but also the close and far dynamic of the situation. Couldn't help but wonder what if? Lots of possibilities for these characters in this setting.

Such a beautifully rendered and sweet piece. The play *moves* -- in a kind of thrilling way that you wouldn't expect from a game entitled "7 minutes in heaven*. It's crazy how instantly we fall in love with these characters. A brilliant piece!

While this is a short play, these two characters have a complete and satisfying journey of change. The dialogue is fun, spontaneous, but most importantly, real.
I absolutely loved the way King goes about showing the audience Sam likes Jack through their biology class. I thought it was really smart and made me love the way King crafts this play.
This is the first time I’m reading King’s work, but King has become one of my favorite writers on NPX. This play is creative, authentic, and funny. I aspire to write a play like this. Brilliant!
