Press
"The use of these flashbacks and memories is an effective device in which Carabatsos manifests what is happening within the surviving character’s minds. It keeps the action quick and interesting, while allowing the weight of the play to not turn too cerebral. . . . “I want to do happy,” Helen says to Charlie near the end of the play. And finally, after Carabatsos has taken us through the memories and the tragedy, we see that after committing to the grieving process there is hope for happiness and a new stage to come" (Rebecca Bernard, Show Business Weekly).
