    This is a piece that just gets more relevant with each passing year. With an Octavia Butler-like prescience, Erlina has crafted a terrifying and believable world that builds to one of the most terrifying climaxes I've read in a very long time. I really hope I can see this one on stage.

    I saw a reading of this play a few years ago, and I still find myself thinking about it and recommending it to anyone who will listen. This is a hilarious, dynamic, highly theatrical play that surprises you with its emotional depth while you're still recovering from your laughter. And it's a truly dynamite central role. I want this play to get produced everywhere.

    This play needs to be produced as soon as possible. A story that is both fantastic and entirely plausible. A play that is very funny while also being deadly serious. A work that is political without being didactic. A piece that is energetic and playful while also beautiful and somber. I can't wait to see this one on stage.

    This is one of the most original ideas for a play I've come across. I saw a reading of it a year ago, and fell wildly in love with the play. It's hilarious, thoughtful, and has so much on its mind about culture and identity.

    This is a punch in the gut. An immediate, visceral, funny, terrifying play that we very desperately need right now.

    This is why we go to the theatre. It's a startling, hilarious, thought-provoking play that touches on a great number of ideas without providing prescriptive answers.

    A delightfully bonkers comedy with a lot going on under the surface. The play is certainly funny - very funny, in fact - but its humor touches upon universal truths and beautiful emotion. I saw a reading of it several days ago, and I've been unpacking its many layers since.

    An enjoyable imaginative modern-day journey with two dynamite roles. It's hilarious and beautiful, often in the same breath. There's no part of this that wouldn't be an absolutely blast to stage, design, and act.

    This play is completely bonkers in all of the right ways. It's funny, thoughtful, and brutally honest, even as it continues down a rabbit hole of stunningly theatrical moments. Highly, highly recommended.
