“ There’s nothing quite like a well-placed umbrella. Floyd-Priskorn’s tale of a maid’s plight is a delightful, farcical romp that twists and mutates all the way to the close, never failing to surprise or induce copious amounts of laughter. With a blissfully unaware master of the house atop all the physical comedy, this would make a great addition to short play festivals everywhere. ”

“ This is a powerful piece of theatre that deserves production everywhere. It is elegant. It is brutal. It is honest. It NAILS what real anxiety looks like. This is my first encounter with Henry’s work, and she immediately reveals herself as a master of pace and dialogue, the latter of which, like the lake in the play, holds so much beneath its surface. Her characters leapt off the page and rooted themselves in me as I read, and I can only imagine what a staged production would do. Stage this play. ”

“ Simple in premise, yet superbly layered in execution, Seidel has written a delicious and cutthroat tale that leaves us questioning our humanity long after the final words. The dialogue is rich and gripping, and coupled with the play’s vivid stage direction, actors and artistic teams would have no end of fun creating the timeless conflict of its world. I would love to see this live. ”

“ Be warned, this is a gut punch of a play, but its heart is tender and keening, and so so worth the journey. Romeo’s dialogue has a natural cadence and almost brutal efficiency, and brings us into a world that not only feels all too close on the horizon, but raises fascinating implications and questions about humanity’s relationship with hope. Just as her characters will pay anything to cover their rental fees, what I would not give to see this sublime play on a stage. Theatre at its finest. ”
