“
The pursuit of joy and an authentic self is complicated, and this play explores the rich texture of those complications. The characters are not one-dimensional; indeed, their many dimensions would be too much for less assured hands, but Flynn shows an astonishing ability to let them fully explore their complexities while always controlling the overall narrative. They are not always their best selves, but they are always likable and relatable. One stand-out moment is a monologue by the character Heather that needs to show up in a best monologue anthology, and this play needs to be produced. Wonderful work. ”
