Sweet but never saccharine - this play expounds on "playing house" until it is not only a reflection of a relationship, but also of the ways we all carry our childhoods forward into our adult lives. An impressive achievement, especially in a ten minute play.

Fascinating, powerful. The ending of Act One - a childish prank, orchestrated by a trio of former friends that escalates to a rape in front of them- is devastating. I literally gasped reading it. The layers of culpability, of hidden secrets and shifting alliances, make this a great play for skilled actors to really show off what they can do.

I have now seen two readings of this play, by wildly different casts, and this play kills. Hysterically funny dry wit. Please produce this one in your theatre, and let me know so I can come see it.

Funny, self-reflective, original... yes, it's a meta piece about monologue performance - and it's a very, very good one. This would be a worthy addition to any evening of short works.

Haunting, captivating, and fiercely original; this is an intricate mind-puzzle of a mental journey between these two characters. It is like a shared dream, and by the end of it, you are dreaming with them.

Stunning in its ability to take the audience on a journey at once utterly unfamiliar and yet deeply resonant. We recognize the shared humanity of people living lives we can barely imagine... a tour de force. Ashley Rose Wellman has a knack for finding the extremes and presenting them so simply, so true to life, that we find ourselves swept along, quietly nodding: Well, of course that's what it's like to grow up as the child of a convicted serial killer. How else could it be? This is an amazing play.

Fun and silly - while written for adults, I could see this one working really well for a school production. It has a sweet message about "different" people finding and accepting each other.

Intriguing - engaging. More fun than reaching into a bag of snakes in the dark - which might become a new metaphor for the workplace. A lovely play that will get the audience squirming. Or wriggling.

Fascinating, haunting - an unconventional exploration of the limbo period so many relationships go through between breaking up and getting back together. Simpson might class it as a comedy - and it is funny - but there's enough subtext to impress Pinter, and a lead role any actor would be glad to have on her resume. This is a comedy with depth.

A beautiful, touching, diamond-sharp play. It is not easy to capture a lifetime of loss - and the loss of a life - in a ten minute play. The RIng does just that, and I have tears in my eyes after reading it.
