I’m speechless. This show was PHENOMENAL. The writing. The staging. The acting. Had a hard time leaving my seat after it was over and I’m very much a busybody with a low attention span. I was ENTHRALLED and invested the entire show. And to think I almost didn’t show bc I was tired 🙈 ...

I love that the story is told through the perspective of three women and the way it shed light on their experiences during the war. I appreciated the comedic undertones especially given the heavy topic....

A very poignant play about human relationships and how we deal with the chaos of losing someone, even if we don’t know them....

This show is a beautifully and intrinsically directed, every movement, moment, is so clear and full. The direction stands as a foundation for the performers to shine! This is the best ensemble piece I have seen at Fringe this year.
I love a show where the threads of the director can be clearly seen and blended in to the performance. And this is that show. A beautiful marriage of great performance and great direction....

I was invited to join some friends at this show and was not really sure what to expect. To say I was moved beyond measure, especially with the current situation in Afghanistan, would be an understatement. The ensemble cast delivered a beautiful and nuanced performance that really touched me. I was in tears by the end and was very moved by the moment of silence after the bow in honor of our the soldiers who lost their lives. I was very young during the time period covered in this play during the earlier years of the war, but it really is relevant to current issues. The story would be very powerful at any time, but it felt especially meaningful right now. ...
