REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS
“The title of this play piqued my interest right away. Mabey does a great job with how these characters are written, giving them so much life outside the context of the play through this small-town tradition and he also builds so much intimacy between the two though no kiss on the lips is ever shared between the two. Such a gentle portrayal of understanding one another.”

“This is a gentle, lyrical, wise and unconventional romance. The connection between Cleo and Daxon is as radiant as it is unique. We see the depth of their shared past and a hope for their ability to forge the future that will work for them. This play illuminates the joy and importance of true acceptance.”
