There are so many things I love about this provocative piece of work from the way it reminds us to be careful of the words we throw away to the way it shows us that recovery isn't a switch to the way it starkly illustrates that for all we've become too attached to our digital worlds, there always comes a point where it's not enough. All that and an education about perfume, too! A really striking and well-crafted piece.

Such a lovely portrait of longing that even post-ZoomZoomZoom reminds us that seeing people on Zoom is never going to take the place of being in the same room with another human. We still need these reminders and this play may be dated but not old.

A skillfully rendered illustration of how we are more alike than different--in good ways and bad--how empathy is the best part of our humanity, and how we should always seek to provide it.

OMG how I love this play! It's so smart and multilayered and FUNNY! So funny! And with robot poetry! I hope this play goes far and eventually lands in my town so I can see it. A real original with so much to say. Just wonderful!

I love the themes of this play: the value and perception of art, the role the "name" attached to the work plays in the perception of its quality, the desire for artistic validation. And all playing out against an intriguing WWII backdrop that heighten the stakes far beyond ego gratification and yet... ego and that need for validation never go away. Wonderful work!

Such an authentic rendering of family sorority and the ways we carry on both in the face of loss and over time. Beautifully done and so relatable; you'll feel at home.

What an incredible play! Full of surprises, multi-layered, sadly both increasingly and continually relevant, it'll keep you engaged from start to finish. RECLAMATION is simple to produce but far from simple.

So many ideas and questions run through this beautifully intimate piece, but the one that kept reverberating to present day--this play takes place in 1999--is what happens when the safe places we've created are no longer safe? This play is a crushing and finely wrought illustration of the difficulties of making room, especially when for those who feel they deserve some room themselves.

Brilliant execution of a unique slice of life play that might just be the most theatrical thing you read this year. This is the kind of work we're talking about when we ask "Why does this need to be theater and not film?” Can't wait to see where development takes this!

Gripping like a mother/daughter TRUE WEST!
