"A humorous, anguished, wry , visionary, tragic, and heroic portrayal set against the sweep of historical events - shattering personal loss with a denouement [of] surprising sweetness and strength."
-Reuven Goldfarb, Editor, AGADA Magazine

 

"Remarkable emotional force, complexity and coherence in a short piece. VALIA'S perspectives on war - grizzly, relentless, sad, spirited, spiritual, humorous - are true and memorable. One writer/performer's voice in five characters helps us find our own."
-Maylie Scott, Zen Priest
