Deliciously tense and blackly funny, Craig-Galván ratchets up the tension until the ending's masterful theatrical rug-pull. A sharp satire that puts the lie to the image of suburbia, and the internalized racism that comes with the pursuit of the status quo.

I was lucky to read part of an earlier draft of this play, and it's so cool to see how Sean has developed it, adding intriguing moral and ethical wrinkles to what could've been a more black-and-white story. The bracingly cynical ending makes us question what's more important: the truth, or how history perceives it?

A beautifully rendered portrait of young male friendship and confronting--and healing from--trauma. Deeply affecting, funny, and moving.
