In Greetings... Valentine deftly explores loss and the impossibility of running from our flaws and internal struggles - they follow you even into space. The play shifts nonlinearly from a pod hurtling through space to past scenes on Earth; I'd love to see a production team vibing with those shifts.
From the start I was fully invested in Arin and their family, believing Arin's words implicitly. As the piece continues, Valentine repeats scenes, introducing clever perspective shifts that work and tug and prod, while still keeping me invested and caring - we love a flawed queer character. ”
