    Ink'dWell is a poignant exploration of grief, anxiety, and the quiet struggles that often go unnoticed. Adams masterfully plays with time and reality, creating a space where the emotional complexities of loss are deeply felt and portrayed with raw honesty. The play beautifully captures the confusion, uncertainty, and secrecy that can accompany grief, while also offering a sense of hope and healing through the relationships that bind the characters.

    A stunning play about how differently people grieve. Loved the way Adams plays with time and reality in this play.

    I saw Ink'dWell in its Off-Broadway production with New Light Theater Project, and I loved it. It is so rare to find a play that accurately and thoughtfully depicts anxiety and depression and is also so full of love. This play needs to be widely produced.
