If you love high-stakes plots, characters that you are instantly invested in, epic stories that are told in a saga, and historical narratives brought to the stage with unabashed beauty then look no further than this second installment of Burke's Suncatcher's masterpiece. Burke is a master of language. Evocative. Thrilling. Passionate. The stage directions themselves sing of a new way to do theatre!

The stakes are high. The air is tense. I barely breathed while reading it. The poignancy of the piece comes from what isn't said. An honest review of toxic masculinity. It's sobering and intense. This piece should be done everywhere!

I love it when the best of humanity comes out in a play - just two humans connecting and empathizing. What a beautifully vulnerable piece. It renews my hope that people everywhere do care for one another even when life and death is being delivered in a truck that is run by online orders. Puts a smile on my face.

Heartbreakingly accurate to what was 2020 and 2021. This is a formative time for our students. Beautifully written and a great monologue for a student who wishes to express their frustration.

Hilarious! Absurd in the best way! The best satire ever! Believe me, it's gonna be yuuuuuge! Two bear paws up!

Riveting! Epic! Amazing! And that's an understatement. Reading it was invigorating because it kept me going. It gave me life in new ways. I was propelled along with the poetry, comedy, sincerity, and poignant dialogue that Nelson is just so perfect at bringing to the table. As a fellow Puerto Rican, it made me laugh and cry and I felt my insides boil over. I cannot emphasize how much I loved it. The visual elements of this piece alone are a director's, light designers', and scene designers' dream. The dialogue is rich for exploration and will have actors salivating.

Speckman has contributed her footprint to The 365 Women a Year: A Playwriting Project's "Women in Theatre" Monologue Collection. This project is wonderful and Ms. Speckman has given us a view into the importance of why we need to know who all of these amazing women are! Elizabeth Wong would be proud! Make it known loud and proud! This piece is perfect for a high school student looking to step into the light with a thought-provoking and fun monologue.

What a twist! Be careful who you trust! This ten-minute piece is a fun one for those wanting to spike a punchline. Twistedly wrong in all the right ways.

As a Puerto Rican female, I appreciate this historic and cultural take on a time and place. A lovely piece on choosing life and choosing to move at a time when fear paralyzes.

A whirlwind of a show built perfectly to keep you on the edge of your seat. The model one-woman show with a message that everyone needs to hear.
