Poignant tale about the diminishment of women, the way we are considered vain when we have had so little chance to be anything but! A portrait of a world that only values us for and monetizes our beauty! How ironic Picasso painted as he did! This short play exposes the hypocrisy of male entitlement by exposing the machinations of Marie-Therese's mother as if she could have done otherwise. Wonderfully thought-provoking!

This is a tremendously well written monologue that takes us through the lives of this man and his entire world which is our world and our lives. Not a false moment in it! Great work for an older male actor! Great piece for a festival.

WOW! Happy to recommend this tightly written fast moving #metoo play about the music business and one woman's journey to get back on top. A very dramatic and easily produceable play that will spark a lot of conversation afterwards.

This is a very funny play! Even though it's about something deep and real and honest that gets you in the end in the best way, it will have you laughing over how vain and competitive we are! LOVE IT!

This is a beautifully written play that is also easily producible with great roles for 2 actors. Everything about it feels right. Well done!

Beautiful play about truths and fears, more than but including the fear of one's own truth getting rejected or the fear of never having the courage to even speak it - this short provides all the inspiration we need to admit our truths, and I hope it gets produced a lot!

I really appreciate the metaphor of the whale fall - something I never knew about - and grief is so deep that this makes perfect sense, and helps any of us dealing with grief's massive and whale-like dimensions! I highly recommend this short and satisfying play.

I love a play that begins and ends in song. I won't give away the ending, but there's a great title! And the language is marvelous! Highly theatrical on a bare stage, just the way I like it!

This is exactly how I feel most days and most nights of my life in this world. It's a good thing I don't have what Eleanor has in her purse. Thank you Ian August for what one calls an absurdist look at art (and I just call my life). I highly recommend this play and would produce it myself if I were to morph into a producer.

So excited about this beautiful new play! And thrilled to recommend it! An ensemble piece that has so many great roles for women and speaks to so much of our experience as girls and young women whether or not we were schooled by nuns. The prevailing attitudes and the hard choices exist in so many ways, and here Femia has dug them up and worked her magic on them toward transformation! I applaud this play so hard!
