Well that was fucking terrifying -- all the moreso for the deeply plausible nature of the story. Who own power and how it's wielded, be it as scalpel or sledgehammer, is the core of a conversation that reveals itself to have been entirely one-sided from the start. Oof.

In a day and age where integrity is only at a premium because it's under attack, many of us in the arts think were Charlottes. Then Green introduces her and us to Marsh - an authoritarian cog who's no dummy. The power dynamic is clear throughout as Charlotte is referred to by her first name and Marsh by his last. But the imbalance grows ever clearer as a conversation about children's lit escalates into literary material of another ilk. A harrowing reminder of how fragile integrity truly is.

Sharp, funny, and timely, Duckie Finds a Hole turns a children’s book dispute into a smart clash over art, politics, and control. Green balances comic absurdity with real stakes, making this ten-minute play both entertaining and pointed.
