Bitter Grounds

Recommended by

  • Adam Richter: Bitter Grounds by Maripat Allen
    “

    We've all been tempted by the menu at Bitter Grounds — or we've been longtime customers.

    This is a great satire that exposes what happens when we hang on to resentment for too long. Maripat Allen's dialogue sparkles in this whip-smart comedy, which has tons of room for great physical expression as well. This would be a great play to produce in front of an audience. Well done!
