Mickey's dad and Sage's mom are really, really good friends. So every day after school, Mickey's dad drops Mickey off at Sage's house and the two kids (played by adults) are forced to play together in Sage's tightly fenced-in backyard while the parents are hanging out. The kids spend the endless hours rationalizing adult behavior, making sense of the cosmos, spying on their disturbing neighbors and surviving each other. Both funny and tragic, MICKEY & SAGE examines the clarity, beauty and brevity of childhood by constantly asking, What happens to people? This four-scene, 60-minute piece lays bare the way that the minor differences that kids note about their playmates' home lives take on greater weight and power as childhood ends. -Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice Listening to two kids talking smack during forced backyard playdates can be pretty funny. They mangle adult language they're trying to ape, and what it all means. But there's a disturbing undercurrent to MICKEY & SAGE. Comedy leavens the underlying painful circumstances, as filtered through the minds of youngsters trying to make sense of it all - or just to survive emotionally and physically. -Bob Fischbach, Omaha World-Herald
