    A sharp and humorous take on an issue "ripped from the headlines." The reveal of who Chuck actually is made me chuckle a bit. Sun is able to cram a lot of information in this short play, without bogging the reader down with exposition. I wish more writers were able to tackle current events with this much wit.

    A clever poignant play that captures this moment. Very timely. A perfect addition to any short play festival.

    This is a beautifully layered look into human connection in the wild world. The dialogue is sharp, natural, and well-drawn characters! Its an intimate world where personal struggles and societal tensions collide. The play is engaging and natural, where tension builds and there is space for reflection, inviting us (the reader) to feel like the characters are fully realized friends and family that we know. One of the lingering feels about this play is it's ability to prompt introspection!
