“I would submit that it is Karyssa, superbly played by Ms. Robles, who emerges the hero in this play…the actors are close to flawless…we are left to marvel at two professional actors at the top of their form.”

“Rebeca Robles and Andy Gershenzon are absolutely stunning with their quick fire banter that always seems to have a hint of aggression to it…Robles expertly plays the manic pixie dream girl only to prove to us that she is anything but.”

“Robles and Sykes perfect the intensity of these moments…This play leaves no room for awkward or disingenuous connections; Robles and Sykes deliver authenticity.”
