    This generation has seen so much pain and suffering. While the monologue specifically references 9/11, audiences members will also make connections on how the pandemic has added to the pain within the DNA of this generation. Such a beautiful way to explore such painful imprints.

    What can I say about pieces written by Rachael Ferny-Williams other than... SHE IS A GENIUS! This short play has everything - tension, humor, shock, outrage, memories, nudity, and some of the best banter between two people I have ever read. BRAVO!

    Holy cow... this timely piece shows the twisted politics of our public schools today and the gun and social tragedies that seem to present themselves at an ever rising and alarming rate. JESSIE SALSBURY hits where so many teachers and students live these days.

    Tension filled - the right kind.
    Sass delivered - thank you, Mrs. May.
    Character driven - a beautiful cast of characters.

    I had the pleasure of hearing this read at a gathering of the "Literary and Discourse Society." No matter what side of the pond it is performed, audiences will love it.

    I ADORE THIS SHORT PLAY! I find such pleasure in Kevin arriving to help Vera find herself again. I had the pleasure of hearing this read a weekly gathering of the "Literary and Discourse Society." PRICELESS. Strong characters, sharp dialogue, and a satisfying ending make for a perfect short play that audiences will treasure.

    What a positive/frustrating ZOOM interaction... depending on what side of the call you find yourself. I had the pleasure of hearing this read on an actual ZOOM meeting of a "Literary and Discourse Society" weekly gathering. The characters are pronounced, the interaction is familiar, the conclusion is heartwarming.

    What a delight! I had the pleasure of hearing this read at "The Literary and Discourse Society" gathering today. I laughed out loud so much, I was glad I was on mute. The characters - juicy. The dialogue - hysterical. The situation - absurdly perfect. I would love to see this brought to life at a festival.

    Love and relationships - messy and beautiful. One man navigates his changing emotions with open eyes and receptive heart. Each of these characters have really interesting stories.There is real heart here.

    HOLY COW! What a powerful piece created within a such a small format. It doesn't take pages of dialogue to make an impact on emotions when RUBEN CARBAJAL is behind the text.

    WHAT A FABULOUS VERY SHORT PLAY! Innocent is lost and then reclaimed again as three bottles realize the true power of taking back control in an unfair world. DANA HALL is a master at establishing vibrant characters in a very short amount of time and with very few words.
