“ This monologue hits with the impact of a truck - so simple, so loaded with emotional subtext. This would be a showstopper audition piece in the hands of a talented teenager - carrying so much and revealing it in glimpses, in moments, in what is left unsaid. Beautifully written. ”

“ I saw this staged in the NY production ten years ago, and I still remember it and the amazing effect it had on the audience - not bad for a one minute play. If you need something light, quick and hysterically funny - this will do it on all counts! ”

“ Emma Wood nails the fundamental culture of small theatre, sure - with wit and a wicked eye - but more deeply, Wood delves into the conflicts between staid traditionalists and innovative artists, between the old (white, male) guard and the new inclusive society forming around them and in spite of them - and illustrates it with the perfect theatrical device: a small theatre choosing the familiar (and "bums on seats" safe) A Christmas Carol, or taking a risk on a new, artistic venture - and Wood has created a perfect new, adventurous, artistic holiday classic! ”

“ A fascinating premise, played absolutely straight, with emotional depth and extraordinary resonance - Peter Pan flies into the window of a grown woman, and suddenly she faces some hard choices. In lesser hands, what might have been a facile ten minute play is here a full length exploration into some powerful ideas. Claire is beautifully dimensional, Peter is - as he always has been - an alluring ideal of the wonders of a never-ending childhood that, on deeper examination, is a deadly trap. The ending will have you thinking about Claire's choices for a while. ”
