Award- Winner, New Plays Festival; Alternative Repertory Theater, Santa Ana, California, 1994.

“…very much about contemporary women’s issues from a perspective that is feminist but not stridently so… the play is infused by a sense of myth and spirituality. While its characters and their interaction adhere to the tenets of realism, the play’s form breaks from the traditions of the “well-made play” in favor of a more contemporary rhythm and a subtler trajectory… I commend the play and its author to you.” ~ John Glore, Literary Manager, South Coast Repertory
