Stuck in the Middle

    I laughed out loud just imagining the stage picture Braverman sets up at the beginning of this piece, then was pleasantly surprised at the depths he manages to explore throughout. This piece is thoughtful, funny, and thoroughly enjoyable all around.

    Satire is best served sharp and Braverman nails it. Everyone is roasted and heat lamped and no one is spared. Left/Right, Believers/Nonbelievers, even the immigration debate sneaks in. So much to fill your plate. Excellent dialogue speeds the play along and requires multiple readings to truly enjoy.

    The concept of this play alone is enough to make one laugh out loud, but BRAVERMAN's execution heightens the comedy tenfold. From the smallest details like the "Great Slurpee Flood of Long Ago", to the overarching themes of faith and blind devotion, this play is laugh out loud funny from start to finish. A joy for audiences to watch and for creative teams to realize, you're going to want this play as a part of your next festival.
