Press:
**** “Jennifer Rowland’s well-crafted, moving script asks pertinent questions about the priorities and necessary selfishness of the artist, about the need to put career before love, and of the pressures that structured career plans can place on very young lives. Performances of depth and grace, particularly Jules Willcox as luminous, vulnerable Amanda and Heleya de Barros’ manipulative ingénue Faith, elevate it into something special."
- The List
**** “A thought-provoking look at how one careless decision can change the course of your life and everyone around you. This performance is full of passion, exploring core values, morals and desires. It challenges the audience at every turn, and questions whether what we get is every really what we wanted – with some valuable lessons. The performers are extremely convincing and committed to their roles, which just heightens the electric atmosphere of the many twists and turns of an original and innovative plot”.
- ScotsGay
“Rowland’s cleverly constructed tale has few pat answers and a psychological deftness that resonates. Director Sarah Zinsser and her cast invest Rowland’s stylish play with gut-wrenching immediacy”.
