    “ When I first read "bloody noses," I felt breathless. Schulman's uniquely poetic voice simultaneously presents the horrors experienced by young athletes while providing a comforting hand to the audience, reminding survivors that their stories are just as valid as the ones unfolding on stage.

    "bloody noses" is so much more than the story of four female college athletes - it's a discussion of the confusions of girlhood, spoken about in the most raw and candid manner. "bloody noses" is a reckoning, a reflection and, above all, a reminder that you are not alone. ”

    “ Pure poetry. Can't wait to see what a lighting designer does with this play. This play tackles heavy themes with such care and nuance. ”

    “ Wow, wow, wow. This play is utterly raw, surprisingly poetic, and extremely satisfying in its bloody, brazen symmetry. The scale of the story is perfect, allowing a level of honesty and specificity to shine through, making this a piece about people rather than a run-of-the-mill "issue play." It is not a "sports play" and absolutely, unquestionably a "sports play," and I think that's part of what makes it so staggering. Every scene is high stakes, even though the brilliant structure informs the audience precisely where this runaway train is headed in scene one. A challenging read but an important one! ”

    “ ‘bloody noses’ is a gut-wrenching master class in storytelling. Each one of the girls here is astonishing, vibrant, and deeply felt, and their language and movement is a revelation page after unflinching page. I cannot recommend this play highly enough. ”
