Press Reviews
"A thoughtful comedy…it's a funny riff on the way that many of us avoid being fully aware of life.“ —CityBeat. ”[Marnich is] a living playwright with a fresh voice…the dialogue is razor sharp, the characters well drawn and unique, and the story vastly entertaining and informative."
— Dramaurge
