“
It's an interesting combination of "Groundhog Day" and "Private Lives". Does a great job of mixing up styles and keeping the audience guessing. A smart and entertaining play! ”

- My Pretty Pink Rifle by11 Jan. 2021“ Great play with a great acting challenge for a young actress. Frightening story with pretty strong implications for the world we live in. Gives you plenty to think about. Thumbs up! ”
- Both Sides, Now by11 Jan. 2021“ High concept minimalist theatre at its best. Totally original but reminds me of something Sam Shepard might’ve written in his younger days. Characters are solid, real and truthful. Despite all the symbolism, this play feels frighteningly honest. Would love to see it performed! ”

- We Don't Have a F***ing Swear Jar by10 Dec. 2020“ A stunning play. What happens when a family’s entire reality and set of boundaries is defined by social media. Everyone’s in on it, parents and kids. Fascinating dialogue, very tightly crafted play. Very strong recommendation from me. Great work! ”
