  • I saw this play in its premiere production at Merrimack Repertory Theatre, directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian. Eleanor has crafted an emotionally sharp, dramatically ingenious, and very very funny portrait of four friends ten years apart. The way she shows the changes in the relationships by mirroring moments between the first and second act is both beautiful and skilled -- and translated wonderfully in the production. The play has four great roles for actors in their 20s. Read this play.

    David Valdes Greenwood has written a crackling play that sits between today's headlines and tomorrow's worst fears. We did a workshop of this play at the Huntington Theatre Company, and the audience was pulled in by its humor, its escalating suspense, and its insight into the current contours of the interaction between science, industry, and government. I recommend reading it -- and producing it!

    Spare, economical, and haunting, I love how Drift brings those of us far estranged from how our food is grown into the lives of the people who harvest it. Soil, tomatoes, weeds, and flowers are all characters in this play, as much as the quartet of voices the story centers around -- and the play has a unique and intriguing way with using metaphors of the land to explore grief in a new dimension. We did a reading of this play at Huntington directed by Marti Lyons; the play is very actable, vivid and compelling.
