  Review Round-Up

OregonLive - Highly Recommended

"...Here, people speak their profoundest thoughts to one another, quite randomly, along with the ordinary ones, as a sequence of vignettes unfolds. They get up, go to work, visit the library, seek plumbing help and parenting advice. And yet, they openly admit to fear and loneliness in this hilarious, heart-wrenching quirky meditation about understanding life and getting through it."

Oregon Arts Watch - Recommended

"...The great pleasure here, however, is Eno's rich, witty language. The play may be - to borrow a phrase from the hilariously lengthy introductory speech (brightly delivered by Pierce) - "bloated with the gorged-on words," full of reflective aphorisms and innocent confessions, curlicues of logic and antic tonal shifts, runaway run-on thoughts and strategic silences. Oh - and deliciously bad puns. But by accretion all that talk gains weight and meaning, slowly seeming less like a series of one-liners and more like a curious meditation on the shadow dance between the profound and the mundane."
