I really enjoyed this production.

A bitter/ sweet tale, heartwarming and deeply sad simultaneously. I ended up rooting for everyone in the story!

Accomplished

Both performance and prose are well worth the listen. I question the point of the background ticking though.

An extremely thought provoking short story

All I can say is WOW. In a story where the narrator has learned an unexpected and painful truth we get raw emotion, and an understanding of the narrators life as she walks an unwanted path. There’s a few uses of the N word written in the context that it is used by the African American characters amongst themselves.

The author has written a well rounded piece where we see inside the mind of a few characters not only how they deal with their lives but how they see one another and themselves all through the musings of the narrator

Absolutely loved it!

What an amazing short story, with everything you could want. Humour, sadness, compassion, intrigue…fantastic. Narrated brilliantly too. I’m going to listen again for sure. Highly recommend.

Excellent

The story line was so realistic and concise. Thought provoking enough, that you felt you've read a novel. Excellent work.
