Reviews:
I was knocked out, frankly, by how well Nayar caught how teenage boys do and do not show affection. Everything about this show feels lived. - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
There is something beautiful and terrible happening in Kebede’s script underneath Sophiyaa Nayar’s direction. - Jay Van Ort, New City Stage
The transition from witty to wounded is painful to watch—and necessarily so. - Maiysha Kai, The Root
