What a play! And what a gift for collaborators. What starts off seeming like one thing quickly turns into something else which turns into something else, making this poetic, theatrical, and gripping play feel ultimately devastating. Another gem from a super-talented playwright with a very sure command of language and the stage. Read it and produce it.

Powerful and compassionate play about bullying that gets right inside the bully, those who are bullied, and those who (at first) watch and do nothing. A beautiful and theatrical work from Hageman that offers numerous staging possibilities and four very strong roles for young performers. I'd love to see this performed.

Beautiful play about love and longing that every audience will be able to relate to. I love how these brief, interconnected stories are told entirely through pantomime--so theatrical and moving--and the visual metaphor of the heart is poetic and brilliant. I'd love to see this performed.

Absolutely wonderful play--beautiful, theatrical, haunting--and astonishing that all of what's going on here takes place in only ten minutes. Would be so powerful on stage. Loved it.

Powerful play that forces us to reexamine our assumptions about other people's pain. Astonishing that all that power is delivered in a single minute of time. I'd love to see this on stage.

Extraordinary play about trauma and memory, so powerful and impossible to stop thinking about. I love the theatricality of Goldman-Sherman's work and the way she invites collaborators into the unique worlds she creates with her scripts. An important and beautiful play that needs to be seen.

Wonderfully fun and imaginative (and smart!) one-minute play that would be a total joy to perform, as well as to see.

Perfectly captures in its single minute what it's like to be a young teenaged girl today and how essential it is for parents to teach their kids how to love themselves and discount other people's judgements. Hageman's dialogue for young people is always spot on and moving, and I love the father-daughter relationship here. A marvel of a one-minute play.

Utterly fabulous two-hander for female actors including a terrific role for an older woman. Hilarious and wonderfully surprising, but what I love most about Hageman's work is how absolutely convincingly real her characters feel and sound (even when they're clearly not real, like Paulette in this play) to the point at which I'm always a little surprised after finishing a Hageman script that the characters I've just spent time with and cared about are not actual living people. I'd love to see this play produced.

Beautiful, haunting, and heartbreaking. I'm in awe of this play, which does so much in only one minute. Wow.
