Lots of people have suicidal thoughts. It's hard not to get through life without some darker moments and this brilliant black comedy is one of the best I've read in a long time about such a dark place and one person's journey to end her life. A great ending that you won't ever see coming which makes it all the more delicious.

Most everyone has been in this situation either as a child or as a parent and those times where you feel like you've committed the worse crime on earth (in my case as a child, a ceramic duck that my brother and I broke) and you wish the world would just drop out from you or that you could run away which I actually did instead of facing the truth!

Our moveable constellations. I loved that description so much and this play resonates with beauty and longing and heartache that you wonder if you've read an entire novel when you finish!

Wow! Double wow! What a funny and oh so ripping play about the way the world used to be and treat women for their state of "hysteria". I'm glad this was my featured play of the day!

Love the line "There's a Market for everything" and aren't we glad there is. I'll never think about moose the same way again. You can never underappreciate the depths a creative spirit will go to be inspired!!

What a beautiful sentiment that's shared in this ode to friendship and lazy days where the world seems like it is decent and good and all you need is the beauty of nature which as we all now is a free gift to us all.

I could use a lot of this none time. I have often been in that situation where an alarm goes off that I set and I don't have to get up, but just like Claire I have that feeling that I'll never be able to go back to sleep. Now I have a path forward the next time it happens.

There is something about jealousy that can bring people together or tear them apart. What I love about this play is that even though the characters are older, they could be any age because we have gone through this situations in high school, college, work life and pretty much any place you can imagine and this theme of jealousy and overcoming that feeling is timeless for most every human who claims to be a part of that race.

A funny tale about sex in the movies and two movie stars on the brink of divorce who are asked to film a nude scene for the new movie they are filming. Even through all the laughs, there is a sense of urgency and despair as Jake realizes that his and Nicole's marriage won't make it past his unfaithfulness and that is hit home by Nicole's confession though even though she had all the magazine covers and such, he used to have her, but not any more.

Never doubt a duck that can talk and never doubt how a duck can bring a city, state and country together. I've never seen this statue on my visits to Milwaukee but I know I'll definitely be looking out for it the next I am there.
