This play is one that made my chest feel tight and was incredibly relatable to the arguments Mia and Jay engage in. This script engages in the challenges of finding your other half but it not always being a better half and the challenges of loving through mental illness. A riveting showcase of queer relationships and the struggles we face behind closed doors.

This play is a master class in creating authentic teenage dialogue and highlighting the best of queer friendships (and more-than-friendships). This play is poignant as a coming of age story and has comedic moments that make you flash back to your own teenage antics! A great work for college campuses to produce and use in scene study courses!

This play lives up to the title—it is a true juggernaut! As a violence and intimacy designer, I am always on the hunt for complex femmes that fight. Female MMA fighters are not a topic usually covered in the theatrical realm, and the carefully constructed conflict builds to a cathartic climax that takes one’s breath away. This play truly “fights” against notions of what it means to be a “good” girl and a “good” fighter. A great play!

This play was absolutely everything I hoped it would be. It left me absolutely breathless when I finished reading. This play beautifully eviscerates influencer culture!

I love this play so much! As a Shakespeare nerd and feminist, I love the sexual awakening of Hero and her feminist awakening fighting against the period, culture, and norms of the period. A fabulous work for college students to sink their teeth into for movement and physical comedy while also creating emotionally complex journeys. A wonderful play! It's going on my directing bucket list.

This play is such an interesting read and structure! I felt my chest tighten through the entirety of the first act as the characters enact wonderfully realistic family tension and bickering. Then...all hell (no pun intended) breaks loose. This play will make you question what is real, what is the stuff of nightmares, and what happens in our lives that are at the intersection of real nightmares. You will devour this play!

This play is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. I couldn't stop reading this play. Complex characters, fascinating storytelling devices, and centering a trans man and queer relationship in the storyline. If you liked "The Big Sick," you'll love this play because it's even better. WONDERFUL script.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this work and was absolutely touched by the friendship between the two characters. This is a story that has been long lost to history books, and white supremacy and prejudice were likely factors. A wonderful play featuring excellent roles for women and centering a Black tennis icon.

I am OBSESSED with this play. As a feminist word nerd, this play ticked all the boxes and tickled me to my core. Fantastic female characters. The dialogue is sharp, fast, and hilarious. Absolutely going on my must-direct bucket list!

I. LOVE. THIS. PLAY. It is gorgeously cinematic, dynamic, and addictive. The characters are robust and experience major shifts throughout the play. The use of multiple languages flows with the work perfectly, and in Susanna's case, packs an extra punch of comedy for those who are clued in. The ending provides twists and turns you wouldn't expect, and the diversity of the cast absolutely shines. A great work!
