I like how Cary Simowitz fills this 10-minute drama with complexity: of white privilege and the realization of the effects of that privilege, of economic and social discrepancies and how those discrepancies affect relationships, of the awkwardness of facing these subjects and their devious impact.

"The Bee That Declared a War" will be an uncomfortable play for audiences, for white, affluent audiences especially. It is also a play that deserves a rich production history.

Wonderful work that deepens as it moves along - a seemingly ordinary evening that becomes a horrifying erasure. Very well done!

Cary Simowitz has fit so much into only 11 pages in this wonderful short play. A powerful story about invisible people who do so much for others who never see them, as well as microaggressions faced by BIPOC folks daily, I loved every moment of this tight, well-constructed play. A perfect example of what a 10 minute play can (and should) be!
