This play feels like it’s balancing on the edge the whole time, in a way that makes it feel true. These are wicked problems, and the least we can do is talk about them.

I read this for work since the theatre I work at is going to be doing a play reading of this online.

It was interesting. I really liked the character development and the story itself. It seems like it will translate to the stage much better than just reading it, though. I want to be able to see it to fully grasp the beauty of the words written.
