- NYtheatre.com

- StarTribune, Minnesota
**** "Emily Morwen has crafted a gem… has created a rich physical environment without props or staging…she darts seamlessly between three distinct, idiosyncratic characters."
- Pioneer Press, Minnesota

Written and Performed by Emily Morwen
Caroline is a teenage insomniac trying to run away to Flinn Flan Manitoba to be re-united with the love of her life, the orthodontist she had when she was 12. Angie hides in her broom closet talking to a photo of her late husband, Frankie. Ernie tells crude tales of women he’s wooed, lives with his mother and is head over-heals with Angie. All three are custodians at a psychiatric hospital. Without props, Emily Morwen seamlessly weaves these three stories together in this heartfelt comedy.
