You have got to read this play. It is wonderfully irreverent and bawdy and fun, but the deeply realized themes of grief/loss, family dynamics, and self-exploration really moved me. I think it's because Eric writes with such personal fierceness and honestly. And of course because there is a totally sexy, Cher-loving cockroach who gives great advice. I'm just saying, you really should read it.

Stephanie's gift of writing wonderfully natural yet passionate dialogue is in full strength with this play. These well-drawn characters deftly pulls the reader into both sides of the highly-charged conversation of gun ownership. It is at turns funny and poignant and harrowing and cringe-inducing. Great roles for good actors. I love this play.

I found this play to be so beautifully crafted and moving. The many characters are all deftly drawn with heartbreaking skill. It's a sharp-eyed commentary on how small-town society has shifted into shadows that Thornton Wilder could never imagine. Brian is such a talented writer.

I found this play very moving, and sweet, and honest. Some wonderful roles for actors here, too. Eric's writing is courageous and deeply authentic.

This clever play is funny, harrowing, brilliant, tragic, and unique. From the first page, it pulls the audience into a fantastic abstract world, and I remember hearing gasps from some members of the audience as that world becomes more and more (chillingly) familiar. I love the adventurous spirit of this play.
