"When We Fall" seems to be doing very well as a concept. With all of the nominations and wins it has received in various competitions and awards it is no doubt that it will be a very good play. I have to admit I am a bit disappointed that the article did not go into further detail about the play itself or the author. I understand not wanting to spoil the play before it is officially presented, however, some further words from the author or any one who has had a hand in choosing the play about its merits or process would have been a great addition to the article, and great fun to read. I will definitely have to check out this play when it is presented here in Pittsburgh and I really hope to see it on more stages in the future when it can be fully realized post covid.
