I love the story that unfolds in this taut, masterful, and really beautiful short play with great meaning and relevance for today's world. Bravo!

What a terrific, unusual monologue. I love the repeated phrase "You know why" and the way the character (who's speaking to God) keeps brandishing her spoon like an extension of her own rage. And who hasn't felt that kind of anger when confronted with the inexplicable sorrows of our world? I also love that this was written for a 50+ female actor. Would love to see this performed.

A truthful and astonishingly uplifting monologue from a teenager struggling with grief and traumatic memories. I'd particularly love to see this monologue performed for political leaders who continue to do nothing despite rapidly escalating numbers of school shootings. A very timely and very urgent play.

An emotionally powerful play about grief that imagines, with great truthfulness and sensitivity, what for many of us is unimaginable--the murder of a child. Lingers long after you stop reading it.

I love this play and the delicate but masterful way it unfolds to show us glimpses of a recent tragedy that the play's two characters are doing their utmost to move beyond.

Beautiful, truthful monologue that's both heartbreaking and hopeful. Highly recommend.

Such an engrossing, moving, and beautifully written monologue about survival and the cost of survival. I'd love to see this performed.

Wonderfully captures the spirit of Wasserstein and her writing, but it's also a remarkable inspirational piece for anyone to read or perform.

Terrific and very funny short play with an absurdist scenario that feels all too relevant to this day and age. Would make a great addition to a short-play festival.

I love the unusual and darkly comic plot of this ten-minute play and its strong female characters. Would be a terrific piece for female actors to perform,
