As another neurodivergent playwright, I think this is uproarious! And being hyper-lexic (as part of my neurodivergence), I don't have any problem writing recommendations, but I can imagine that some people do. And Izzy Salant captures this in a radiant way that makes me laugh and smile and relax for a minute instead of holding my breath like I do, so maybe extending my life! This monologue spoke to me, and I'm recommending it easily and with a lot of words!

I've always wondered about Simon Says, and now I know the truth. Moughon has a brilliant mind. This is a super-creepy play!

What an intense and theatrical piece this is! McCarthy manages to maintain so much tension throughout, continuously raises the stakes and keeps them high in this ensemble drama that kept me on edge all night! The characters are specific and driven. A disturbing play that isn't afraid of confrontation.

This play quickly became unstoppable for me. I really enjoyed it and was deeply concerned for the characters. I'm also really torn up about the ending in a good way, as a spark for dialogue, and it's so theatrically fabulous, and there are so many ways to imagine it. A producible play about mental illness that is likable and feels so real. Well done!

He had me at the prop list. Actually, he had me at the epigraph. A wildly theatrical play about trauma - how could I not love this? Brokenness as character! Reduced to bagels - I am laughing and crying. And yes, these characters are permeable without boundaries as if they weren't given the chance to form complete selves, and they take on the mere suggestions of states of being in different moments. It would be fascinating to see onstage!

What a fabulous play! As someone who discovered I'm a quarter Greek/Balkan when I got my DNA tested, I really related to this play, loved the characters and how well wrought they are. And such impactful work about identity with so much humor and heart.

I love so many things about this play including having an adult in the kid role As An Adult - I have not seen this done anywhere else in this way, and it is very effective and allows for so much healing to happen, a very smart idea. The play has a lot to say, but the moving (I needed tissues!) reading at Drew U with ASOTO completely swept me up into the story of these incredibly well-rendered characters, such juicy roles for actors!!! Only later did its brilliant subversions seep in. What a wonderful play this is! Highly recommend!

Beautiful work! Great roles for women. Great transitions and timing. The way the piece moves is masterfully crafted. Love how theatrical it is, love the suspense, very intense!

Hilarious play about a group of public defenders who are desperately fighting impossible battles against a cruel system while obsessing about lunch in the most wonderful ways! I highly recommend this for the theatrical use of language, brilliantly created characters and very distinct rhythms and scene dynamics that make this such a joyful show.
