“ What fun, in that hilariously dark, quirky Priskornian way. And the last line is killer. Laugh-out-loud killer! ”

“ The joy in this work lies not just in the words of Edgar Allan Poe, but in how deftly – and faithfully – Rachel Luann Strayer uses them to create a completely modern, yet Poesian theatrical experience. As a piece of immersive theatre it is a brilliant creation; that it can also clearly work in a more traditional, proscenium-bound staging is a testament to how well-crafted it is. I would love to see a production, be it on stage or in the rooms of a large, spooky old house; either way, I imagine it would be a thrilling adventure. ”

“ This play is a beauty, deserving every single one of its accolades. The relationship of these brothers, at once both lost and found, is so precisely and poignantly portrayed by Harris we can't help but be drawn into their lives, and once there, completely captivated by these two disparate yet similar siblings. A gorgeous piece of writing that I imagine works even better on stage, and a feast for the two actors lucky enough to play these roles. ”

“ Who hasn't occasionally longed to escape to a more genteel era, a time before the incessant buzz of a 24/7 life? That's what Catherine Castellani's heroine, Miss Ava Strand, longs for and briefly achieves... but at what cost?

Looking at the the racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc... of the past like a modern day Tennessee Williams, Castellani creates a world of disquieting fantasy and tension with stylish skill. Like Ava, we get caught up in her dreamworld early on, then recoil, watching helplessly and horrified as Ava refuses to acknowledge what her delusions have wrought. A chilling, superb work. ”
