    I’ve read and seen so many “Covid plays”; this is the first one that feels timeless, where the pandemic isn’t the story but the backdrop for a more universal exploration of loneliness, nostalgia, connection and the lengths to which we will go for family. SOTW manages to be hopeful and uplifting without being cloying, clever and original without sacrificing heart.

    I had the pleasure of acting in the first production of this play; it’s still one of my fondest memories as an actor. It’s witty and arch, but also deeply sincere and vulnerable. The intersection of art and science is a fascinating playground, and Kaplan makes joyful, poetic use of it.
