    “ I am so thankful for this play. It felt timely to enjoy right now with such prophetic and poetic lines of dialogue, complex - but simple - layers in the characters; and the attention to what is happening now. The comedy is refreshing and intimate. The story is both timeless and timely. (March 21, 2020) ”

    “ This play touches on a thread in our culture that is real and is disturbing. The truths in this play are familiar, and the way in which Svich dealt with the topic was both appropriate and genius. As always, the language is unique - with a balanced and beautiful mix of realism and poetry. Religion, economics, community, ethics, and morality are all skillfully threaded in this story that is told revealing the underbelly of flawed humanity through a small town that could be any small town in America; that's why it is good. The opportunity for theatricality is endless. ”

    “ This is a beautiful play! It employs a timeless theme of the past emotional and psychological baggage we carry into relationships with each other. The play offers great opportunities for actors and directors to explore character and freedom of setting and circumstance. I am using it in a 10 Minute play festival at Northwest Arkansas Community College, where I teach. The students are having a meaningful time with it during the rehearsal process. It's also great to use as a source when teaching playwriting and the art of the 10 minute play. ”
