really want to see this on stage, would be very interesting to see how they plan out some portions at the end! the second half fell a little flat and the smallest bit rushed but overall i loved it. a very enjoyable read!

Completely unhinged but really enjoyable! Wondering how this might actually be staged, especially the 2nd act.

While I'm sure I missed the significance of some of the details and was mildly annoyed at the clichéd moments, I thoroughly enjoyed this play. Ruhl's whimsical style speaks to something in the dreamer in us as well as to parts of us that question the world we currently, and will continue to, remain in unless we make a change.

Some great nuggets - particularly in the monologues - but beyond that, wasn't my favorite Ruhl so far. Beautifully written, though. Her dialogue is always poetry.

Didn’t expect much but I was still disappointed. Not what I thought it was going to be at all and the message was lost.

Good play, didn't really affect me much. Might be fun to watch.

Saw this play done back in college, don't think I ever got around to reading the whole thing, at least not carefully. Some really beautiful language (not surprising, since it's Ruhl) and some really interesting commentary on the way we live our lives in this busy, rushing day and age of cell phones and the internet.
