“ It's as if Samuel Beckett took his absurdist track -- focusing on menial tasks -- and gave it a suburban nightmare once-over. Clever, cute, maddening, and yet refreshing: kind of like drinking the Theory of Relativity for breakfast. Or pie. Well, Joe? ”

“ The sheer will and determination in this piece takes it beyond the stage. This is no whining whimper, but a powerful stand for this woman, unafraid to own up to the emotions she feels without backing down or apologizing. The honesty and gripping determination make this a universal statement of fact and liberation. I would love to see this on stage and can only hope that it becomes a mantra beyond the footlights. ”

“ I had the privilege of hearing this play as it was being developed, and I am so happy to see how Arianna Rose has brought these characters to life, and then to see it performed at Sol Theatre in Boca Raton, FL. This is a tour-de-force of art, insight, and understanding about two fascinating women -- the Cone sisters -- and their collection that brings two towering figures of 20th century literature -- Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas -- into our minds guided by the presence of a figure from Matisse. Enthralling and truthful. ”

“ Some of the most complex and true theatre takes place in the imaginations and actions of children. It proves that our ability to create full-dimensional characters, action, conflict, and resolution is an instinct; it only becomes complicated -- and distorted -- when we grown-ups try too hard to make sense of make-believe. In this short and achingly true piece observing Slim, "Chancey," and Hairline Q. Brush, we see into just how this improvised game lives up to the core of theatre: providing the escape that allows these young actors to face reality with courage and resolve. ”
