'Warm and funny... In many ways, your classic coming-of-age story – full of teenage angst, fumbling romances, and dreams of older, freer years. But Gayathiri Kamalakanthan's play is also a bold study of Tamil history and identity... a deeply endearing play, with Krish's inner conflicts about wanting to please their family spilling out across the stage in candid revelations... It's very funny, too – Kamalakanthan is a master of writing adolescent turmoil... a tender, delicate exploration of self-discovery that hits you right in the emotional gut'
