“ By the way Cecelia writes, it's impossible not to be drawn in by this cross-cultural folklore tale set in the South West of three young women at a crucial moment in their lives. I was captivated by the lyrical nature of the text and it's myths and strong dramatic scenes between the young women. I was intrigued by the structure of the play and how we return to the pearly gates and each time La Llorona interaction with the Gatekeeper has changed. If you are looking for a powerful female-driven play with a bit of magic, this is it! ”

“ I have seen this play a few times now, and I have to say it's one of the smartest, funniest, and well-written ten minute plays I have ever seen. The twins in this play are comical exaggerations of brainiac children, and yet the play is extremely truthful and relatable. Abbey displays her ability in creating tension within moments, and the sense of a bigger more powerful character outside the walls of the play, some one we feel and know and yet never see. If you are producing a ten-minute festival you would be amiss not to include Geniuses. ”

“ This ten minute play will leave you feeling haunted. The writing is beautiful and the story unfolds like a carefully planned seduction. A great play, and a great playwright to watch! ”

“ This play sucks you in from the start. This seems like a story about random interactions with strangers and the way they can change you, however it's even more a play about family and forgiveness. This play has dirty realism written all over it in the best of ways. I feel like it's a Raymond Carver come to life! ”
