This play is a delightfully funny little rollercoaster ride of misunderstandings. I feel very flattered that character Nigel is based on me. I love visiting Philip in Miami, but I am a proper guest rather than an AirBnB one and am not irredeemably straight. Lovely!

I haven't yet read the previous plays in the trilogy but I found this play engaging and moving. I love the idea that our journeys in life are a part of the greater journey of our ancestors. The idea that an object from the past can speak to a family in crisis was both compelling and comforting. A play for our times, and I felt more hopeful having read it.

I loved this play, and by the end I had tears. Time passes and the summers of our youth which feel they could go on forever, also pass. Parents age and houses which hold such dear memories must be sold. There's something very cruel about time, and with beautiful writing and impeccable structure, Williams explores a family dealing with this very problem. There's a warm humanity to Williams' plays which I always appreciate, and as I hoped, he ultimately reveals an answer to our dilemma.

Love is the greatest blessing and also the greatest pain when those we love disappear into the chasm of death. This mystery, or perhaps this inevitable curse (unless you're lucky enough to die with the person you love in an air crash or something similar), can only be authentically expressed in art by someone who has been through it. This play is deep, visceral, painful, with humour to give chiaroscuro balance. It is a path we all must take, but it's nice to know others are walking with us.

This play is quite gripping. It brings to life an important but little known character from history. The dialogue is incredibly natural, which makes the historic scene and the relationships vivid and real. Many stories about black people seem to focus on the sense of disempowerment and victimhood. What I loved about this story was that the central character, Charity, was a person of considerable authority and she and her colleagues were not victims, but kicked ass.

What a fun piece! Some lovely word play in a scene which pokes rather gentle fun at Jesus and his disciples. Given the way religion is being weaponised by right wing politicians to divide people along tribal lines and brutalise vulnerable groups, such humour feels like an antidote to poison. Love it!

Boone tells a great story, and I found reading this one gripping, so a production must be fabulous. The rural dialect, colourful characters, bizarre but hilarious humour and scintillating language gave this piece great style. I've read a few pieces with Boone now, and I like him. He's a man who's truly contented with his life. He may have a humble job and humble means, but the strange characters and situations he encounters give him more than enough entertainment. I want to see him in a play!

It's amazing the things you can find in the garbage, and the stories they tell. This monologue flies with this idea. Scintillating language, the music of rural dialect, masterly structure, not to mention raucous expertly paced humour, make this monologue a winner. I'll never look at trash quite the same way again!

The masterly use of suspense and mystery meant I was gripped by this play from beginning to end. Writers are always told: 'it's what you don't say, not what you do say'. It's the questions which aren't answered, not the questions which are. John Busser gives a model for how to do this: the narrative was haunting and deeply moving. With interstellar object 3I/ATLAS currently in our solar system, and speculation rife about possible extra-terrestrial involvement, this play is particularly timely.

A timely play which interrogates themes of statehood, sanctuary, belonging. Why does our identity have to be defined by citizenship? Haven’t we all longed to create our own personal nation with our own rules? What’s beautiful about this play is there is nothing predictable, and expectations about who is vulnerable and who has power are delightfully subverted. Throughout, the dialogue shines with Williams’ humanity and warmth, one could almost say ‘sweetness’, though not in a saccharine way.
