    A profound work about historical queerness and religious eroticism. Gay Catholics will eat it up.

    A gripping, poignant meta-critique of objectification. The play is funny and touching, tender and loving, sarcastic and sincere. A must-read!

    I absolutely adore this play. Berryman has captured the awkwardness and joy of adolescent nerdiness without judgement or condescension. I even teared up! Because of fanfiction! What a wonderful joyous read.

    There's so much beauty and wonder in this play I'm not even sure how to capture it in a review. It's dense and philosophical but it flies by. It's raw and restrained. It's classical and fresh! A wealth of beautiful contradictions. Anyone wondering about the future of American theater need look no further than this play.

    What a dark and complicated work. I love the density of ideas and the wonderfully suspenseful plot. A wonderful read!

    I feel positively waterlogged after reading this play, and I mean that as the highest of compliments. The writing's so rich with atmosphere, the dialogue's so kinetic, and when I finished reading I felt as though I'd crossed a threshold. PLEASE give it a read.

    This play gets me where I live. It's tender and raw and really approaches the awkwardness of adolescence without judgement or blame. Extra props for the wonderfully nuanced and empathetic portrayal of eating disorders. What sensational work!

    My favorite aspect of Matt's writing is the deftness with which he balances plaintive haunting imagery with absolutely hysterical humor. This play is heartbreaking and lovely, and absolutely of the time. I recommend it to anyone who's struggling with anxieties about the end of the world.

    What a sensationally vulnerable play. I can only imagine the strength (and maybe the recklessness) it must have taken to write it. Raw, bitter, sweet, wonderful. This might be my new favorite Christmas play.
