“ This is spot-on-satire -- captures through an animated, imagined voice of a smart device the annoying, unapologetic anti-hero within us - that voice of our obssesion, maybe our crippling addiction to information consumption on the Internet. Oh, those panda babies are so cute, those Facebook quizzes so funny, but all of it a waste of time -- you're not truly living, not truly connected with the world, with others offline. It's a challenge for the actor, something rare for theatre - an inanimate object animated through the spectacle of acting and theatre! If you enjoyed the monologue Helper, read this! ”

“ To say something or not about a suspicious or left behind item in public -- most of us, aware of living in a dangerous world where terrorism could happen anytime, can relate to this situation in Bavoso's play. We're always looking around, wondering about that backpack... Are we overreacting these days about our safety in public? Should we always say something to authorities, or will it just be a waste of time? And then the play becomes something else, a shocking twist that I didn't see coming. Check out this topical play. ”

“ Every beginning playwright should read this; it's a warning. And really funny. I recommend teachers put this on their syllabi. Maybe read this even before writing your very first play. This is one my favorite short plays about theatre, ever. ”

“ Anyone who is a hoarder or has way too much junk or keepsakes can relate to Edsel, even if they're not in their 70s. The story concept of moving boxes shifting -- and attacking -- is brilliant, and sets it a part of the other garage/attic/moving plays. Boxes are designated as characters in the character list -- that was definitely a hook! Several laughs a page. A great comedy for senior actors -- and they're rare on New Play Exchange. ”
