“ Elly Irwin never created a character she didn't love. She respects and cares for each one, acknowledging the jubilance of their daily lives, honoring that they are flawed and capable of anything, at all times careful to evoke their personalities and upbringings and deep-rooted beliefs in every throwaway line and interaction. She creates textured worlds that feel more slice-of-life than any slice-of-life playwright who came before, and this play is no exception. Often painful as you see where it's going, but never manipulative or melodramatic: a play about people and situations and what we take from them. ”
