REVIEWS and accolades
The Pennsylvania Gazette, “The work grew from Ferguson’s own questions about gender and age, specifically in performance terms. ‘When you see a woman in her 50s and a younger male actor, usually it’s a relationship around sexuality—the cougar, a May-December romance—or a mother-son,’ she says. ‘I wanted to push beyond those boundaries to find another iteration for those two performers.’”
