“I was lucky to see this performed recently. The tension is apparent from the start but you're not aware of its source. As Mabey provides the reveal, your heart breaks a little, then by the end, a lot. Interesting and emotionally impactful. Well done.”

“The Missing beautifully captures the complexity of human connection. Through the raw tension between two women, Mabey explores self-discovery and the unspoken gaps between people. The emotional depth and resonant ending make it a must-read for any theater lover. Intimate and powerful.”
