Pine has created a deeply unsettling and infinitely fascinating theatrical world here! The well-rendered characters have distinct voices and unique and individual baggage. This piece works both as straightforward storytelling as well as a broader, figurative examination of trauma, widespread social and existential anxiety and despair, and the cyclical feeling of living alongside mental illness. The stage images in this piece are extremely evocative, and there's much here that directors, designers, and actors could do to really leave their imprint on this piece. Tough but really worthwhile reading.

Wow. Mr. Pine has written an intense, powerful examination of the damage of trauma. His characters are supremely flawed, but undeniably human. IMMORTALITY CRISIS is a compelling play--it will keep you on the edge of your seat--and it is enormously emotionally affecting. A difficult, challenging topic excellently rendered. WOW.

Playwrights Foundation enthusiastically recommends this play, IMMORTALITY CRISIS, as a Semi-Finalist for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival 2020. We were moved by the quality of the writing and the relevant and compelling themes that spoke to the mission of our festival. It excelled in a competitive process of 735 plays submitted this year and rose to the top after a six month long process discussing its merits with both national and local Bay Area readers, and we hope it moves swiftly towards production.
