Heartfelt, nostalgic, and beautifully understated, Boxes Can Wait reminds us that the most meaningful inheritances aren't the things we keep, but the moments we share. Cole captures sisterhood and grief with warmth and authenticity, using a childhood blanket fort as a touching symbol of love, memory, and the importance of making time for one another.

As a former maker of blanket forts, this short play resonated with me. Two sisters are at odds with each other after the death of their mom, but make peace and find comfort at last under the cover of their old blanket fort. This is a great two-hander for women of a certain age.

Cole beautifully captures the complex and deep bond between sisters who have a shared grief and a deep history of loving one another and their mother. The sweet surprise hidden inside the blanket fort was a tear-jerker moment. A lovely tribute to sisterhood.
