An incredible play you won't put down that really takes a good look at our relationship to parenting and trauma in a bold and comical way. Well done.

Wow! I loved this piece. The heightened, hilarious, and terrifying tone is so compelling to read. I just loved how Diaz used satire and absurdity to explore social truths about adolescence, growing up, parenting, the ways family can fuck you up and the messy business of trying to escape those cycles. The everyday poetry of some of the language is so beautiful and coexists with some super dark but sidesplitting humor. I never imagined how poignant the violent death of a flour sack baby could be. Memorable moments, stage images, and characters.

Deliciously cruel, calamitous, and complex - "The Juniors" - schools us in more ways than one with its hilarious and harrowing viewpoint on adolescent anarchic angst. With knife sharp dialogue reminiscent of Jawbreaker on Ritalin and a tone that veers from amoral absurdity to tender destructiveness in a split second, this play plays with our personal histories towards parenthood, epigenetic family trauma, and worldwide domination in a way that is masterfully fun as it is frightening.
