Don't Lugh. It's Funny. was included in The Strides Collective's 2021 Spring Virtual New Play Development Residency. Foster has nailed the two-hander with his open-heart and fearlessness. This play embraces mental illness and queerness in a stunning way, featuring two characters with huge hearts and big minds.

A stunner. What could have been chaotic and depressing is buoyed by Foster's snappy inventiveness; a dark story, yes, but told with such a light, almost stream-of-consciousness air that we laugh even as we choke back tears and/or gasp in horror. A wonderful showcase for two actors, and a gift for an imaginative director.

The narrative on this is just fantastic. A great look into the effects of the highs and lows of depression, anxiety, grief, and loneliness on mental health. With the right touches of humor, it's moving and extremely effective. Incredibly moving and well done!
