This play has a punch of an ending. The characters and their voices are strongly written, and you can absolutely see them as people you would have known in high school and are now forced to interact with as adults. This is an amazing work in the way it builds and leaves you in shock, as any act of violence does. Well-created, and tragically, perfect for our modern times.

The imagry of this play is beautiful and haunting. A perfect Victorian picture of magical realism and an exploration into mental illness. It would be gorgeous to stage and create. This one will stick with you! Well done.

The language of this work is poetic and perfectly reflective of the time in which its set. It is completely and beautifully symbolic that the white women through their lot in with the Klan to their ruin. Impactful and expertly created.

The dialogue in the play flows easily with the characterizations. This work takes a look at family and how two siblings work together when they are both faced with difficult life circumstances. Great play for college age actors.

There is a lot in this play. It's comedic, it's dark, it's ironic, it's timely. The monologues are poetic. It addresses family and modern parenting convention, and how children are raised and how they behave. It is a modern, creative take on a classical tragedy format, and I am looking forward to seeing it produced and developed.

I read the sample instead of watching the superbowl as Rachel suggested. Good decision. Rachel has an ear for dialogue and I know the actors who get to play these characters are going to have a blast. I hope to read/see the full play beyond the sample. I can see why the NNPN picked it up for a development workshop. Well done!

I had the honor and privilege of seeing this work at the Unicorn. It is haunting, beautiful, hard-hitting. I still think about it and see the images in my mind months later. It is a piece that needs to be performed across the country. Hilary Bettis has crafted something amazing that needs to be seen by everyone.

Watched this gem of a 10 minute play at the Midwest Dramatists Center Conference in a staged reading. Wonderfully funny and snappy, realistic dialogue. Perfect for adults or teens. The actors had a great time with these characters.
