SHE TEARS HERSELF APART really brings home the visceral decision paralysis of seeing yourself walking down a dozen paths, and the struggle to discern between what you think you feel, what you wish you felt, and what you're really experiencing at your core. Gad ends this short play with a really fun piece of theatricality that would be an absolute delight to direct. This is such a compassionate, weird-real, and lyrical piece that I can't wait to see developed.

I feel like breakups are a common theme for plays but I don't think I've read a play that looks at it like this one does. What happens when you breakup with someone and you have to face all your conflicting emotions about the situation? Gad answers that question here in a very exciting way. I loved how distinct and original each version of Andrea was while still clearly all being facets of the same person. I want to see what a actors, designers and a director can do with this. Very excited to follow the development of this piece.
