    What a lovely piece. There's not a false note in here between the two sisters, who have such a strong, caring relationship. It's tricky to write play about grief without tipping too far into sentimentality, but this Laura Pittenger pulls it off with this short script. The audience is along for the entire ride, pulling for the future.

    What a lovely piece! It's got both humor and true human connection, love even. A wonderful modern update, that has just the right kind of O'Henry twist to it.

    This play is just so much fun! Farce is always hard to pull off, but Alice really makes it work, because it's not just the comedy that's moving things along, but characters who are quirky with desires and secrets. I love how the script just keeps barreling along, with laughs and surprises the whole way, while still exploring issues of identity and sexuality.
