    “ A very funny comedy about the preparation required sometimes between family. Inventive and well done! ”

    “ Tanuja Devi Jagernauth treats audiences and actresses alike to eye-bulging theatricality with her short play "Skin." There's gallows humor a-plenty mixed with a strong dose of fight choreography and symbolism. Yet the family's power dynamic, the foundation for Jagernauth's marvelous action & characters, makes it wholly relatable for audiences. ”

    “ A really smart metaphorical and funny play about the complexity of a mother/daughter relationship. Bold in its language and theatricality, Jagernauth is an exciting voice for the theatre. ”
