She Gets Naked in the End

Recommended by

  • Jordan Kilgore: She Gets Naked in the End by Briandaniel Oglesby
    “

    She Gets Naked in the End is a piece that is strikingly raw and poetic. It has a keen sense of place throughout, and has an unshakeable Americana-type quality. The script provides three very meaty, substantial roles for three versatile, capable actors. Ranging from endearing to funny to infuriating to disturbing, the emotional impact of this piece lingers long after you finish reading it. Oglesby has a good handle on stark imagery and deep characterization.
