“ Atmospheric and intriguing. A surprising and poignant play, forcing the audience to ponder a deal-with-the-devil choice that forever defines the protagonist. Such a simple gesture takes on a powerful emotional heft in the most affecting moment, when the protagonist utters, “It’s not collaborating, it’s only singing”. It's been a while since a script has put me so much in the head of the protagonist. ”

“ I've been a long time admirer of Lia Romeo's comedies - This is a powerful step in the opposite direction. This is a timely, provocative, morally complex tale with nuanced teenage characters. The young characters are complex, their dialogue distinctive, and the consequences their choices realistic and harrowing. ”

“ I had the pleasure of reading this script during it's workshop at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, and reread it again just recently. It is a uniquely structured brain-tease, an intriguing character study between pupil and teacher, and above all, a love letter to Shakespeare. It manages to feel intimate in production, yet epic in it's ability to portray the enormity of the relationship between the 2 characters. Bravo! ”

“ I saw this play in a workshop at the Landing Theatre in Texas, and just enjoyed rereading it. McLindon's script delves into the moral complexity of the choices 4 characters make in pursuit of university success. One of the treats of this script is the richness of its' unique and affable characters. In fact, I didn't realize how much I truly cared about the characters until they were put into peril. It's a thought provoking play, with some very funny and touching moments. Highly recommended. ”
