“How can we live without Sean Kane’s inspired madness, his loopy intelligence, and the amplitude of his heart?” – DAVID ABRAM, Visiting Scholar in Social Ecology, Harvard University

Funny and heartwarming without feeling forced. I absolutely love the concept of an anthropomorphic raccoon family and their journey in life. My favourite part was Act I and the depiction of the family’s dynamic.
