    “

    A very apt title - for the characters and for the audience. It's like an exquisite piece of glasswork; the language and playful theatricality are so lovely to behold, with a clear sense that the atmosphere and sense of memory is *so* precarious. This short play will stick with you far longer than its runtime.
