    A powerful confrontation of racism and disability in this country as it all comes to the surface. Well done.

    This play grabbed me from the start with its characters that have stuck with me from reading it over a year ago. I really enjoyed the audience's relationship with Aika as she speaks to us of the New Mexico landscape around her and her family traumas. It's lyrical yet also realistic language makes it a really strong piece that I hope gets produced someday soon.

    This play faces prejudice head on and takes a circuitous route to redeem its flawed antagonists. It's unafraid to show the south in a way many perceive it, full of vipers and venom. Yet there's a haunting brilliance in the poetic monologues shared by the mute character Aika - great pieces to pull from for young actresses. Unapologetic and unflinching!

    Talk about compelling theatre! This amazingly crafted script is a deep and moving look at the "other" and how they are treated in contemporary American landscapes. Turnage takes the time and care to usher us through the truly magical world of the play in a way that is stirring. From the concept of motherhood, family, ownership, sexuality, and even abuse, she still ignites the world she creates with poetic language, stunning images, and a level of musicality that helps these pages sing.

    Caitlin Turnage successfully treats the themes of disability and racial profiling. I enjoyed her method of comparing the natural effects of weather cycles on the New Mexico landscape to the emotions of the inhabitants of this barren land. She captures the colloquial speech of her characters quite well, and much of her dialogue qualifies as poetry. She reveals the importance of communication through the tragic silence of a mute girl, and also through the barriers between her characters of different skin colors.
