“ A poignant and lyrical work that dives into the heart of loss without needing to name it. This piece's dreamlike quality heightens the reality of Claire's slowly fading memory and Bruce's growing grief. An unexpected approach to Alzheimer's and other forms of memory loss that packs a punch which is almost stronger for its gentleness. ”

“ So, so much is happening in this play. In the constant positioning for power between a Black tattoo artist at the top of her game and an (allegedly) reformed white supremacist looking for redemption (or maybe a way to escape accountability), Salsbury presents both a future I'd dearly love to see and a microcosm of the current political landscape, all while deftly reminding us that the personal is political. The questions posed here have no easy answers, so Salsbury wisely offers none. ”

“ The details make this beautiful piece sing. Within a deceptively simple premise, Gonzalez layers connections of the heart, the desperation of depression, and a vividly depicted account of the small moments that make life worth living. Gonzalez connects his characters to each other, and to us, through the specificity of what moves us and makes us human. The uncertainty of the ending keeps the audience inspired well beyond the ending, calling on us to seek out those all-important connections in our own lives. ”

“ A delightful piece where so much happens under the surface of the conversation. The characters speak with wonderfully distinctive voices and have clear motivations and desires. King conveys the sense of two people who've lived in each other's pockets for a long time via subtle shorthands: backhanded compliments, veiled jabs, and moments of genuine attempts at connection that show they know exactly where each other's hurt spots are. Although the play deals with timely issues, there's also a timelessness to these characters and the relationship they share. ”
