    An absolutely gorgeous exploration of memory and trauma. Stunning in every way, with beautifully crafted roles for the actors, particularly the actress playing Mirage, and great design opportunities. Heartbreaking and ultimately heartwarming and hopeful. I need to see this onstage.

    A great new play from Shannon. Great dialogue and great queer and female characters. Kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end.

    So refreshing to hear such real youth voices in these characters as they discuss such real issues. Can't wait to see what Shannon does next.

    A beautiful exploration of a character's life and it's parallel with his career as an epidemiologist. It does a wonderful job of feeling relevant (in the sense that it talks about a pandemic), while still keeping enough distance from COVID that it is not too emotionally difficult to read. This play is so important to me as a writer, showing me how to weave science and other non-theatrical topics into a theatrical setting-- I talked about it extensively in my college interview!

    My favorite play I've ever read-- I wrote a college essay on it and hope so badly to be a part of a production of it one day.
