If A CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE OFFICE, and SUCCESSION had a hilarious and heart-felt lovechild, it would be this play. Simple to produce, directly told to the audience, and full of humor, wit, and big questions like can we ever really change - and can we let those around us do the same, this play is a delight and an unsung holiday hero.

Run don't walk to read this play. The characters are complicated and delicious for actors to dig into, the story keeps you on your toes through the last image, and the writing is whip-smart and full of specificity, heart, and big big questions about the roles we play and the systems in which we play them.

This. Play.
This play effortlessly wraps its arms around classic literature and pop culture and the everlasting quest for women to come into their power in spite of the men who would stand in their way. Kimberly not only understands the voices of young people, she loves them so damn much that she gives them the kind of complexity and depth on the page that they possess IRL. What a gift she is.
