“ An excellent example of a stream of consciousness monologue that is cogent, forceful, beautifully written, and unforgettable. What an opportunity for an actor to use these words to take us along with them on this realistic, engaging, and ultimately heartbreaking road trip. ”

“ Purists beware: this is not the “Persuasion” of Jane Austen, bearing little more than a passing resemblance to her early 19th century classic of love lost through ill-advised exhortation. What it is, however, is a fascinating, updated rethinking of the story, set in a dystopian future where the mores are similar – if grungier – but the stakes are much higher than who’s going to be invited to a card game in Lady Dalrymple’s drawing room. An edgy, dark, and risk-taking work that stands on its own two less-than-silk-slipper-shod feet, and one I would love to see staged. ”

“ With archly absurd language and situations, Jan Probst keeps ratcheting up the hilarity while at the same time never losing sight of the troubled relationship at the center of this very funny, yet ultimately touching little gem. Go Mary!!! ”

“ “Seems like a clunky interjection of social consciousness on the part of the playwright in an otherwise pointless play, but if that’s how she wants to use this platform, ok.”

Ok, Kelly, you owe me a new keyboard for that one.

In a play that gets funnier and funnier with every absurd line and situation, when McBurnette-Andronicos crosses over into navel-gazing meta-theatricality and then tops it with the aforementioned line, she goes from the ridiculously funny to the sublime. And she makes you think, at the very least about proofreading anything and everything before you click “send.” ”
