“ What seems at first glance to simply be a cute high concept - it's Goldilocks and Baby Bear! years later! and they swiped right on Tinder! - quickly becomes something much richer, stranger, and even heartbreaking. Lohne finds ever more ingenious ways to explore notions of survivor guilt and the difficulties of forgiveness, both of ourselves and others. Smart, moving, and genuinely adorable. ”

“ It should be too unbearable to watch, even to contemplate - our current environmental crisis is bad enough, but to explore it through five sweet, soon-to-be-extinct animals having a sad little picnic?! And yet this magnificent piece is compulsively watchable (compulsively readable, anyway), brimming with revolutionary fervor, smart stagecraft, and unexpected humor. ("Not all frogs play banjo" is the best out-of-left-field laugh line I've seen in a good long while.) ”

“ It starts so simply, so poetically, a bittersweet naturalistic portrait of contemporary small-town life, a sensitive meditation on politics and faith and friendship. And then, because Vince Gatton is a diabolical genius, a series of breathtakingly terrifying surprises erupt, allowing the dark and monstrous fantasies buried deep in our national subconscious to come erupting to the surface. I won't tell you exactly what sort of an apocalypse you can expect, but I can promise you won't be the same when you come out the other side of it. Read this play. Produce this play. NOW. ”

“ Dear lord, the construction of this is gorgeous. Foglia's tale of a woman's inability (or refusal) to process her grief is rooted in such a specific sense of place, with such meticulously realized and relatable characters, that only gradually do you realize it as his tale enters the realm of full-blown Southern Gothic horror. A magnificent piece of work. ”
