From the provocative title to the shocking conclusion, TEENAGE DICK by Mike Lew is a captivating, modern adaptation of RICHARD III that builds suspense with each scene, even when you "know" what's going to happen. The dramaturgy is tight, the dialog is realistic, even the names are clever, and it's one of the best plays I've read in the past few years. Highly recommend. ”

I first read "Teenage Dick" and then saw the virtual production of it at Huntington Stage. As a person with a disability, I was very grateful that Mike took wonderful thought and pains to portray people with disability not just with accuracy but with the ability to be jerks. Inspired by Richard III, this play excellently explores the dark hallways of high school where ambition is everything and being class president is more important than keeping secrets. This play should definitely be seen everywhere by all ages. ”

A modern-day, high-school-election-set Richard III riff that is wickedly clever, surprisingly moving, and inclusive to disabled actors. Anyone who gets to be in or work on this play is a lucky soul indeed. Legitimately one of my favorite plays of the decade. It’d also make a great film, I think. ”
