Absolutely brilliant: a relationship on a tightrope - and I mean actually on a tightrope.. A metaphor that is delightful to contemplate, and would be an original, exciting play to stage. I'd love to see this one performed!

Dark, with a level of humor that is as uncomfortable as it is funny - a powerful and challenging play. The line "I wrote NO on my body parts too just in case" lands like a punch to the gut.

An early play by Barbra Lhota that is timeless, timely, and due for another production. A romantic comedy with real depth, moments of intense pathos, and a wonderful, swashbuckling series of sword fights!

A phenomenal play. Absolutely enthralling - it pulls you into a world at once disconcertingly unfamiliar and simultaneously utterly recognizable. The relationship between Soldier and Girl fluidly changes dynamics, always engaging, always under high tension like a lava lamp filled with nitroglycerin. The ending left me stunned.

Witty dialogue, charming characters - this play is fun to read - almost a slice-of-life that implies so much going on before and after, without feeling the need to hammer the audience with exposition - which in turn makes it intriguing, and gives it a feeling of being more expansive than the typical short play.

Sweet, funny and unexpected - with wonderful mythical elements to explore, both thematically and theatrically - a strong one for designers!

Powerful, emotionally resonant, complex, demanding - this defies expectations and brings a truly thought-provoking level of theatricality to an event, an arena, a subject, we think we know. Quite amazing.

Fascinating, unsettling, consuming - this play has captured the wonderful, terrifying exhilaration of standing at the edge of a precipice and knowing you could... just... jump.

Wow. Just wow. Intense, immersive, confrontational. This is theatrical risk taking - and is a risk so many theatres - and actors - should want to run with.

In case you were wondering whether the title is a metaphor, it is wonderfully, wickedly literal. This is a macabre, fascinating, puzzling, engaging comedy, with a pair of strong, challenging roles, well worth diving into.
