“ I meant to only skim this play but I ended up staying up late finishing it. This thriller keeps you engaged until the very end. The language is fresh and captures the vivid environment the characters exist within. Hits all the right beats of tension, tenderness, and pure excitement. The story remains bright, lively, and fast-paced throughout, with characters you can root for. It gave me a craving for more stories like this one; which is something I didn't know we needed but that I'm now certain is essential. ”

“ This was an incredibly rich and rewarding epic. I always start a play *hoping* it will come to life on the page, and House of Joy delivers from the first moment. The intersection of romance, action, complicated friendship, and adventure is gorgeously spiced by the complex inner world of the Harem. Thank you for posting! ”

“ Completely kick ass piece of action and adventure, with woman leads, a gripping story, and a great delve into a historical period I didn't know much about. This play not only centers the female narrative, it does it while being wildly entertaining. ”
