This play is absolutely stunning. The psychological fugues paired with musical fugues and the barbed wire/garden motifs are so beautiful. Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful. Truly a symphony all throughout. The concept of the scenes as fugue was incredibly successful with all of the layers, repetitions, and developments throughout. This play was aptly named and the concept was well conceived and laid out. Each character is an instrument and the language and story is so beautiful. It is an absolute work of art that still is able to tell a story that feels truthful through its artistic nature. I go to the orchestra, and reading this felt how I feel going to the orchestra. Do yourself a favor and please read it. But don't just read it, live in it. Fully allow yourself the immersion into this play that is necessary to see the surroundings and hear all of the music laid within her words. It's there if you lend yourself to it.
