I see so much of my own/my friends' struggles in Tiff and Carolyn's characters. This friendship feels super-real, alien babies and all.

God, there was a time when this play read like sci-fi. It CERTAINLY doesn't now. A prescient play, that unwinds slowly, managing to feel truthful, grounded and mythic all at once. It's deft, and an interesting angle in on a topic that a LOT of us are trying to figure out how to make theater about.

There are plays that enter you through your head, plays that enter you through your heart, and plays that enter through your gut. This play, for me is one of the latter -- it's unapologetic, unafraid, deliberately side-stepping a more intellectual logic in search of the kind of truth you find in your bones.
Yes, it has a story, character relationships -- in a lot of ways, it "works" in very traditional ways! But Bender is asking questions about faith, sexuality, our inner monsters in ways that will challenge and delight.

This play is glorious...the way that doubling is used is ingenious and purposeful, and the way it plays with time is dizzying but perfect. Gonna keep pushing for it, hard.

Wow, this one is unflinching, and lets NO ONE off the hook. Sometimes, truth is like a knife, and this play is sharp as hell.
A complicated exploration of race, racism, complicity, self-loathing, and the way that old wounds can stay with you.

Rich language, terrific character work in the three sisters, with a lot to say about how history is written, who's written out of it, and what counts as "important" work. It truly lives up to the description of "poetic, playful and unflinching." I'm dying to see it on stage.

Give this PLAY a shot! I got a chance to read this play in a diverse intergenerational reading group, and ALL of us took slightly different things from it, but we were agreed that the play is a beautiful reminder that everyone approaches life with their own unique histories, so that even when we go through the same experience, we won't see it the same way. A brilliant exploration of perspective, and how it can splinter even the most tender of relationships. Bravo, Rosendorf. Really, REALLY great work here.

Dang, this play is DARK, and dang, Keenan-Zelt knows how to use the tools of theater to tell a twisty, compelling story. This was one of those plays where I kept wanting to look away and COULDN'T look away. The description above talks about "delicate, dangerous, and often grey space" and that is EXACTLY where this whole play lives. Whew. I need an ice cream cone, and to walk this one off.

Beautifully specific relationships, bringing new meaning to "haunted." Walters does a great job of taking characters we THINK we know and twisting them, just a little, into something we have to look at more deeply, to really see. Really nice work.

A really compelling read, with finely drawn character work, relationships that keep unfolding, serious theatricality. This play had me feeling all my feelings, awake to wonder in new ways. Would love to see it staged!
