    With the biggest, goofiest smile on my face finishing this on the subway, I have to say this is a superbly enjoyable play! The first impaling was thrilling enough, but the second? Two completely motivated impalings? Awe-inspiring!

    Lovely play on a favorite topic of mine - a mother's death! It is so essential that this work is shared and seen because of all the misconceptions about what is right or wrong to do at the funeral, etc, and this play goes straight to the core of that. Wonderfully written!

    Wonderfully dramatic piece! I am intrigued with the circumstances and how Kelly deals with fire itself onstage - very creatively! Would be wonderful to see fully realized!

    How do we remake the world a better place? I really appreciate that Hardy asks this question in this fascinating piece filled with the potential for great stage pictures! Choreography! And Beauty!

    I love plays about death! Especially plays about mothers who are dead! I love mythology! And I love it when there's more than I expect, when I can feel something right off the page because then you know it's going to be great on its feet!

    Wonderful work - the two characters are quite distinct from each other, and the play touches on some really deep experiences. It can be so hard to be human with all that we go through, and this play offers Solace.

    A lovely piece to bring to senior centers! It's funny and poignant, and easy to produce! I love all the upsides to aging that the piece focuses on without being saccharin or insincere. Well done!

    Stunningly beautiful work. Wonderfully dramatic and visual and also aural - it would be a great pleasure to witness live as in Produce This Everywhere Please.

    This is a very funny play with a lot of subtext underneath. I really enjoyed the older sister (being one myself) and the relationship between the two sisters sharing that mother who is a real piece of work! I also loved how unJewish they were about being Jewish, so very true!
