Sunny Days is delightful! Varga perfectly captures the voices of teens looking to belong while also giving them agency. The parents are well drawn, familiar yet complicated. The use of a sock puppet to portray a serial killer/forum avatar is some of the best theatricality I’ve seen onstage. This is a play that keeps you on the edge of your seat with danger but remains laugh out loud funny throughout. Please read, recommend, and produce. I wish more were plays about teens and this play is a strong, wonderful addition to the canon.
