This playwright is very brave for tackling a story this powerful. Few may know about the backdrop, but Walker makes you feel that it's not only important, but timeless. The characters are up against impossible odds to secure one more family connection, one last bit of hope. This story has no easy answers, but touches on a piece of humanity that few will match. That is art at the highest level.

Wow, just a quietly devastating little play. The twist is unexpected and yet completely plausible, and the ending, while sad, still retains hope and optimism. The playwright deftly uses all these elements to craft a beautiful little story. Bravo!

Poetic, lyrical, and beautiful. Two people who need a connection, and yet fail to do so. The metaphor of the wasteland outside aptly matches the situation between the two living together. Really shows that people can be miles apart even in the same room.

A heartbreaking work examining a family torn apart by the serious riffs in our culture today. The characters consistently and relentlessly pursue their goals, which forces them into a compelling conflict. There are no easy answers or a simple way out; this play forces us to address the issues head on. A spectacular piece of theatre.

Macbeth for the modern world. The characters keep the action moving, even when things go awry. A great little piece that will fit in to any festival and will be the highlight of the evening.

A play that looks into the weird, unspoken nature of "the code," and what it means to friendship. A funny and clever little play.

This play really explores the meaning of the phrase "art is subjective." But the play also tells us that art is meaningful, both for the creator and the consumer, even as they try to understand each other's point of view. A well thought out and fun play.

The play starts out with a subtly that lures you in, then slowly brings about a shattering climax. The playwright expertly weaves the backstory in and out, teasing you along, and then delivers on the promise. Such a suspenseful work from a deceptively simple premise. Very well done!

A very funny and touching play about a man displaced in time. A story that shows what is actually important in life, all while keeping a sense of wonder. This is a real achievement.

A very funny and pointed comedy about the pursuit of success, both from the beginner's and the expert's point of view. Every playwright at every stage will get this story.
