Reviews

[Jeff Falzone]

probably my favorite of Shinn's incredible body of work.

There’s a haunting beauty about this play. It’s almost like a poem. It starts off rather random and fast, but becomes this beautiful thing which explores different people and their different relationships.
Interesting.
