I love this piece for how it manages to be so many things at once -- hopeful yet tragic, sad but loving, and straightforward yet layered. The structure is creative and lends itself to some truly dynamic staging. Miscarriage is such an unfortunately common (yet not discussed enough) situation, so I imagine bearing witness to Russell's beautifully told story will bring comfort to many. Looking forward to seeing that happen on (many) stages very soon!

This is a moving and powerful piece that deals with a special type of grief. Lizzy Santana beautifully shows the dad's perspective without ever letting his overshadow the woman's experience. Beautiful use of language and storytelling. I read and responded to this play at the 2024 Mid-America Theater Conference and it captured the entire room. I highly recommend this play!
