    What a gorgeous piece about friendship and how our first responsibility is to ourselves. Both Dani and Ambra are such relatable characters, their resonance rings long after the last page. Authentic, touching, and so very relatable. Author Karen Fix Curry has such a wonderful take on women of a certain age, and celebrates them on stage.

    A poignant and deeply human two-hander, Telling captures the fragile intersection of denial, fear, and love with remarkable clarity. Karen Fix Curry crafts authentic, emotionally grounded dialogue that reveals both the urgency of illness and the complexity of confronting it. The bond between Ambra and Dani is rendered with tenderness and tension, culminating in a quietly powerful reminder that facing truth is often the bravest act of all.
