I have recently been inspired to write my own play so I definitely felt compelled to read your work and I was not disappointed. It was very well written and I enjoyed reading it. Look forward to reading more.

Comment from 4Maryann
Having recently dealt with aging parents, I can truly appreciate the humor in your script. I was going to cut and paste the first line that really made me laugh (my mother is a private person. Let's call a spade a spade, she hates people...), but I continued to chuckle the rest of the way through! What a terrific story. We are rooting for poor Mother the entire time and are overjoyed that she gets to go back home. Thanks for this!

Comment from Carrie Carson
I really like this. My mother-in-law, a dear friend, is 80 and if she is determined about something, that's it. That was true when she was much younger, but even more so now.
Not worrying about spag, blah, blah
Good job with this. I admire the way you're able to create these scenes. :) Carrie

Comment from fictionwriter
I hope to never be in that position, but if I end up with dementia, I'll probably be just like that. Rude, not wanting to let people in my house, and proving to everyone I can still do it. Great job.

Comment from guinea
This is a well written script. I loved it. I could follow the scenes easily. This shows deep thought. I just so happen to know a lady like this. But i have never seen her have a tender moment.

Comment from Solacium Mariae
Well I did enjoy. You really did quite the artistic set-up. Reading that alone was enough to know this was going to be very good.
I only had one suggestion:
but no one trusts that the sanity is permanent.
I wouldn't use 'but' again so closely. Maybe 'though' instead.
I also had a few others. Not for ease of reading, but ease and interpretation of delivery if one were to learn the monologue for performance.
Excellent and Enjoyable!

What a nice play. I could picture the Mother and her conversations with her daughters. You really did a good job of making this come alive. Congratulations on the recognitions.

Comment from mroberts
Kudos for this fine performance piece.Lovely intro to prep us for what's ahead. I love how the problem was solved, very sensibly. All seemed very truthful and very human. The only flaw was the punctuation! LOL
