I love this play. Love it. Hageman is talented in the fact she pulls together a story while making us feel like we are peeking in on an intimate moment. I've lived through a similar experience and the writing was beautiful and true. I learn from her writing how to create solid structure as well.

Lyrical and sadly beautiful, and the author treats the subject with the care and respect it deserves. Very lucky to have heard it in person at MDC Conference 2018. It received a great reception.

This was the play I didn't get a chance to see at the MDC conference, but this was the one everyone was talking about. Amazing. Well done twist. Gorgeous. My kind of play!

I had the joy and privilege to see this production at Creede Rep. It is a beautiful work that addresses grief and family, mixing with the fun and humor of telenovelas. This was performed in an intimate space and the entire audience was engaged - laughing and sobbing. It was an intimate audience experience and a gorgeous work. Hopeful to see it performed across the country, as the women protagonists are sensationally written. Cleverly conveyed bilingual and second language challenges while performed almost entirely in English.

I had the absolute joy to see this show in Creede. As a huge Sherlock fan, I can tell Christopher Walsh has done his homework. Theatres across the country should pick up this play- it has great female protagonists, and at Creede Rep, they had light and movable set pieces and doubled roles, so medium (100-150) houses shouldn't be intimidated by the technical aspects. It is fantastic and I can't wait to hear about it being performed across the country. Must see/read for fans of Sherlock Holmes, and great roles for women.

I had the great privilege of seeing this in a festival in Kansas City. Necessary watching and/or reading for all women who can vote. I am a huge fan of this playwright, and her variety in the works she brings to the table are amazing.

I traveled to Argentina and spent almost 4 months there, studying the Dirty War and its history, and watched the Madres march every week. This play is so important, and the history is necessary for every American to understand. This play's language and mix of Argentine Spanish is perfect. If you are anywhere near where it is being performed, it is your obligation to go see it. Glad it has gotten an NNPN world premiere and hoping more theatres around the country pick it up quickly.

Was very lucky to see this play in progress at a Unicorn Theatre reading in Kansas City. Everyone has certain biases and beliefs, and this play invests in confronting them. What if, even in the most 'liberal' mindset, we are closed off to learning and growing our opinions? It is, however, not a one-themed play. Women's self-protection and spousal relationships are also a strong underlying theme that push into the work. Well done and extremely timely.

Had the great privilege to see this read at the KC Rep new works. It is masterful how it builds a timeline just far enough into the future while wrapping into current events. The writer is masterful enough to keep it from being preachy - it is a suspenseful story that keeps you on the edge of your seat while causing you to question every bias. The entire audience was captivated, and in the talk-back, we could've discussed it for an hour longer. A must-see.

What a powerful short play. Poetic with bits of dialogue from a variety of characters, we know them all, who have been affected by school shootings. The language, the quotes, the explanations of what an AR-15 does to a body, all are powerful and this play is perfect as a protest piece against the senseless gun violence. The ending Narrator speech I read multiple times. It is so rich, breaking down the potential shooter motivations in poetic fragment structure. This writer is an expert in expression. Heartrendingly well crafted.
