“A quietly moving, skillfully immersive dual coming-of-age tale.”
– Time Out Chicago
“A breakneck combination coming-of-age, lovers-on-the-lam tale.”

innovative and powerful language.”

"...Stuart Carden guides the production with an unfailing sureness of touch as the action fluidly moves between narration and realistic exchanges."
"This is a solid drama with some twists and turns . . . a story of self discovery as well discovery of the “soul-mate” that we are all supposed to have in our lives."
