“
A bittersweet story about two lonely young women on the autism spectrum who find a common ground over the Oz books (both those written by Baum and not). Like the best of the fantasy genre, this play fuses real world emotion with a world that is fantastical and beguiling. Despite the whimsy, there is a palpable sense of melancholy as the play explores growing up and being left behind. A gorgeously written, whimsical, and charming story that is both intimate in its simplicity and epic in its theatricality. I cannot wait to see this play produced! ”
