    I love these people! No one creates female and femme characters like Aly Kantor. This short includes brilliant use of connected similes. Wonderful writing with a great message - highlighting new body image complications created by use of the latest medical technology. I must confess that I'm now hungry for a Wagyu slider. I'd love to be invited to the wedding.

    Wonderfully insightful and relevant for these times and the often f***ed-up body pressures we put on people (now with more wrinkles than ever!). That Aly makes me laugh throughout the underlying seriousness of this is her gift. An excellent message that doesn't hit you over the head and leaves you with thoughts at the end. An excellent short play.

    Some things you can always be sure of when you step into an Aly Kantor play: it will be funny, idiosyncratic, and substantive; it will probably surprise you; and it will love its complicated women characters, allowing them their weaknesses, foibles, and sometimes fucked up motivations while glorying in their brains and wit. ERSTWHILE (OR, THE PRIME CUT) delivers on that Kantor Brand Promise, and I recommend it highly. Take a big bite, you’ll want seconds.

    Yeess!! I KNEW there was going to be more to the Wagyu cows than met the eye originally, because that's how Aly Kantor works. Every detail is in service to the message of the play, and seeing where and how that's revealed never stops being a delight. This short is great.

    There's a lot of truth and a lot of beauty in this 10-minute play. Darcy's dilemma is all too relatable, and this slice of life conversation is extremely well crafted.

    I'm not at all sure it's right to call this exploration of women's struggles with size "lovely," but Kantor manages to combine incisive social satire and a tale of a romance in ways that feel inevitable. Here's to Darcy -- and thank you, Lena!
