“[…] an engaging display of honesty and vulnerability that suggests that our experiences are not quite as unique as we think they are, and perhaps by sharing them we can come together over our shared plight and hopefully feel less alone.”
– Montreal Theatre Hub

“Good actors, good text, well-rounded show. Not to be missed.”
