I was seriously moved when I read this play. The heartbreak of a child's needless death seen reflected on the faces of a set of new(?) parents was stunning. Timely and extremely relevant in this day and age, it brings a powerful message without making it a political debate. The human loss is what matters most. This play should be produced and seen.

I'd say, "How do you like them apples?", but I'm sure she doesn't look like an apple either.
I think I can put this succinctly. Just desserts. I loved this monologue.

A heart stopper as well as a breath taker. As well it should be. Speckman's monologue takes an unimaginable event we no longer have to imagine, and puts it in a context we can fathom in personal terms. There should be an obligatory silence after this play is performed to give the audience a chance to think about the words they've just heard. Powerful words indeed.

A brutal look at how we can continue to find new ways to hurt each other while maintaining a stalemate of peace. An eye-opening account of a long-ago real incident most people have probably never heard of but should have, this outrageous episode is presented in the most mundane way, an after-event account, which makes what occurred all the more horrific as the participants formulate a response. Fascinating and infuriating at the same time. Sickles play is a winner.

It's a shame this isn't written to be spoken by a real politician addressing an audience that is hurting for a happier ending to the story we're currently living through. David's monologue provides a positive light we could all stand to be under right now.

I highly recommend this collection of pieces about life and death, time and space, family and strangers, and of most importance, roller coasters. 7 rapid-fire, surprising, tender and heart-breaking plays that would make a wonderful evening of theater.

A terrific little jaunt through possibilities. I liked the opportunities this presents.

I was intrigued from the get go at the concept of this play. But it turned out to also be more tender and heartfelt than I would have thought it could be. A wonderful look at letting go not because we have to but because we're ready for it. A terrific play.

I had a great time and a number of out loud laughs at this little slice of life about a women and her girls just getting something(s) off her chest. Or on her chest. You decide.

A timely, if not unsettling look at where we are. Efficiency taking precedence over people, who are basically cutting their own throats in the pursuit of that efficiency. This play's look at the uncorking of a technological genie we will never get back in the bottle as long as there are profits to be made is frightening to contemplate. But an important battle is being fought here and Panttaja is taking note of it.
