“It was such a powerful play that had the entire audience thinking and talking about the subject matter afterwards.”
Lisa Rowlands, Neath Little Theatre
“The script does the important work of challenging the actors to effectively embrace absurdism and satire to expose the circus of violence in our schools and society. The audience was moved and an amazing conversation ensued at the end of the show. ”
