By Mat Smart, 2001 UE alumnus, Directed by guest artist Amy Attaway, 2001 UE Alumna
"This really impressive new play succeeds partly because of its highly distinctive setting at the bottom of the world, partly because Mat Smart knows how to forge a metaphor about a community of needy misfits all running away from something, partly because it is penned with real wit and affection, and mostly because it brings together a collection of highly distinctive and lovable characters whose fate we find ourselves strikingly invested." - Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune
