    An excellent play. I really would love to see this performed.

    The author has a witty and fresh style.

    Good beginning, but I thought it got way too melodramatic. "A flight of angels sing thee to thy rest" - Seriously??? It's overly simplistic

    Amazing! What a poignant and, yet at times, funny story. Her mastery of language is a marvel in itself as well.
