    In trying to figure out how Scott Mullen is getting paid for his 10 Minute Plays while the rest of us can't even get them done for free, I read this, and there is a reason -- this is WONDERFUL! I would pay him for it if I could! READ IT, LEARN that some plays open our hearts and make us hope again! Definitely worthwhile!

    BRILLIANT! The fabulous intensity of the characters' desires struck me from the start and gripped me beginning to end top to tail, back to front. A marvel of an oddity of a theatrical event that strikes honest emotional chords even as it thrills!

    Wonderful ensemble piece that gets to the heart of the gender divides in teen life that carry over into the rest of our lives. Should be a feminist classic!

    Very inspiring beautifully written play! I love the theatricality of Althea and the magic that takes place before our eyes, but the character of Annie is endearing and important, a feminist shero who is dealing with much more than science!

    Love this new version! My favorite parts are the Gorgons and how they learn little by little not to eat stones and how to tell stories, or maybe my favorite parts are all the different terrible kings, or maybe my favorite parts are how inadvertently Perseus becomes a murderer and won't own that, or maybe my favorite parts are all the amazing action sequences or the grandfather's realization or Danae's reunion in the palace of her birth or... I could go on and on! It is a glorious mythical enchantment of a play!

    Very super-fun and funny monologue that I would love to see onstage in NYC! Fresh Fruit Festival? The charisma - the imperial they! - just oozes off the page!

    How much fun is it to go back to the 15th Century and see Botticelli create Venus? Probably not half as much fun as seeing this play! In Carnes' invention Venus gets to argue over how she'll be painted, and Venus is a feminist! Great work!

    Adorable and funny - as a flat-chested woman who remembers the exact name of the girl in 6th Grade who got boobs when I didn't - I can totally relate! It's a great concept and well-executed!

    Beautiful, funny at times, angry at times, and sad - lotsa sadness and heart. I think of my own (white girl) hair issues and I fall in love with these vignettes. From the girls with their blonde towel hair to the Duplicates and finally the one who falls - a wonderful play about Black women living and dying - Jackson makes the invisible visible, and we should all pay attention.
