“ In this powerful piece, Lionelle Hamanaka tears into the cost of war and its aftermath with a ferocious energy that is enraging and thought-provoking. Expertly ratcheting up the tension throughout, she provides an excellent opportunity for skilled performers to bring the family at the core of the play to multi-dimensional life, as well as an expertly crafted story that breaks the heart. ”

“ Acceptance, and the redemptive powers that come with it, are at the core of Lucy Wang’s moving family drama. Wang’s characters are all complex, beautifully detailed human beings who give a universality to her story, in turn making it the kind of play that hits a nerve for anyone and everyone who reads, or better yet, sees the work; they’ll recognize themselves in this family regardless of their own personal circumstances. Touching, deeply felt, and very moving, I’d love to see this staged. ”

“ The longing to conform, to fit in, to be the person you think you need to be when you’re a teen-ager runs through this keenly observed play like a knife; both sweet and heartbreaking, Bray brings us back to a time when everything was so vitally important, yet… not. Beautiful work. ”

“ Busser doing Busser, and he’s killing it with this scathingly funny ten-minute two-hander. I’m still laughing. ”
