  • Zach Barr: littlespace, or the daddy play

    Muller is one of the most unsparing writers working today, in her portrayal of female pain, sorrow, and unapologetic need. "littlespace" draws you in with its endearing cast and its heavy themes of women's perspectives being ignored, then begins to slowly twist the knife in fascinating ways. I read the climax through my fingers, my heart pounding as the dominos Muller set up fell expertly into place. A true gem of a script all around. Produce it yesterday.

    This play gets better and better each time I read it. Totally agree that this play is ready for a production. Adore these messy characters and their raw dialogue.

    Marjorie Muller's "littlespace, or the daddy play" was such a captivating and compassionate work! The characters are rich, realistic, and fully realized. Not only is this show ready for production, it would be the highlight of any season. Can't wait to see it fully realized!
