 "All the characters in Quiara Alegría Hude's compassionate follow-up to "Elliot: A Soldier's Fugue" (A Pulitzer Finalist) are seeking a kind of visa - one that will allow them to make it to a safe heaven in a messed-up world. Everyone in the play is living day to day - or spoonful by spoonful, to echo Hudes' poignant metaphor - enabled, hindered, and supportive by an ever-interrelated reach of family and friends. The play is a combination poem, prayer and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty, speed and chaos. When cyber meets the real world, anger gives way to forgiveness and resistance becomes redemption; the heart of the play opens up and the waters flow freely" --Variety "This is one of the best new plays I've seen in years. This is a very funny, warm and, yes, uplifting, play with characters that are vivid, vital and who stay with you long after the play is over. A quartet and wounded yet fiercely bright characters who are trying to stay sober communicate over the Internet. Those who feel the web is a cold connection may change their opinion after they see the very hot limbo in which these characters live and interact" --The Hartford Courant
