    Exquisite language, effortless erudition, flawless comic rhythms, heady speculative inventions, an unexpectedly moving beating human heart and a killer title besides. Some short plays are a snapshot, others aspire to be a journey; this one's a tonal and temporal epic.

    Intriguing. I enjoyed the language usage throughout the play. Having two characters that have different ways of communicating is always fun to witness.
