“ This is a phenomenal play. I cannot recommend it enough. It's impossible to stop reading it once you start. One of the most unique structures I've ever seen leads us to a daring, brilliant, engaging storyline full of characters that you love within only a few pages of reading about them. The "laugh light" is one of the neatest devices I've ever encountered in a play. Read this now, or better yet, get it on stage where it belongs so it can be seen by every single person. This is about as perfect as a play can get. ”

“ Brutal, poignant, hilarious, sharp, and intense. There's a clever use of repetition in how the stutter scenes reset themselves as well as the end of the play wrapping back to the beginning. I actually have the pleasure of acting in a workshop production of "Hooded," but, as a fellow playwright, am also awestruck by the cleverness in the play's structure and the brutal honesty around such a relevant subject. ”

“ Dark satire done right. Unforgiving in its ribbing, punishing in its lessons, hilarious and entertaining and thought provoking throughout. Full of layered meaning. Staging used as metaphor. Archetypes fused with modern politics. An audience forced into complicity and responsibility. Characters who are absurdly comical and painfully human in such a fresh and lively mix. This play is great. It had me guessing at every turn, not due to any mystery, but because it's so inventive in style, story, and structure. Chisholm calls his scene repetition "stuttering", but by the end, the play was nothing but crystal clear to me. Terrific. ”
