    “ What a wonderful play - from a sentence written by Dostoyevsky, Carabatsos makes a whole new piece, and it sings! I love the words and the birds. Fascinating and filled with so much dramatic tension, great moments - the destroying and rebuilding of lives - a memorable play! ”

    “ This is a very powerful play that haunts the reader. I also love that two women drive the action of this piece as Carabatsos leads us somewhere near a resolution. I would love to see this produced! ”

    “ I am a Director and Actress in Los Angeles. I was chosen to direct WE WILL NOT DESCRIBE THE CONVERSATION at the 2018 Acting Out Ink Fest. I can not begin to describe the complexities and depth of this play. It is fantastic. My cast of 3 tremendous actors loved the play so much - they dove in and had amazing material to sink into. I was also lucky enough to meet Ms. Carabatos who flew out to from NYC to see the show. She is lovely. Read this play. So great! ”

    “ Resentment and remorse, these emotions are played against each other in such a way that they twist you round and round till you dare not even breathe, and then when you think it is safe to breathe, it twists you again. A well structured and gripping surreally real play. ”

    “ A public reading of WE WILL NOT DESCRIBE THE CONVERSATION was produced at Midtown Direct Rep in 2016. Eugenie’s play is a suspenseful exploration inspired by the missing POV of the female characters in CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. This edge-of-your-seat psychological journey inspired an enthusiastic post-performance talk back. Highly recommend! ”

    “ This play works wonders on so many levels. The exploration of darkness in the mind that Carabatsos is able to uncover is both exciting to read, and terrifying to watch. The play's structure flows seamlessly from past to present. You will get chills when you read this! ”

    “ I love that this play that explored what a male writer distilled to a sentence, Eugenie has exploded that sentence idea and showed us what's on the other side of the fun-house mirror: two women bonding. At GPTC, the audience loved the script's twists and turns; who we're siding with at any moment can change. These characters are aspiring to better themselves but more importantly, searching to fill this horrible empty feeling of being incomplete. A great piece for an intimate cast & on a practical level, works well in any space. Actors will love you, designers too. ”

    “ If Arthur Miller were reincarnated today as a powerhouse lady, he might have written this graceful, urgent play. WWNDTC is a powerful moral drama that unfolds with rare elegance, clarity, and assurance. It tells a profoundly resonant untold story, and it raises essential questions about how we live with ourselves and each other. The folks at KCACTF thought it was the best play they read all year. You might, too. ”

    “ Was completely inspired after seeing a reading of this play at the Great Plains Theatre Conference - strong, nuanced female characters grappling with a complex relationship, funny, witty, moving, Eugenie writes with precision and heart. ”

    “ This is a beautiful and heartbreaking script with rich and complicated characters, which is unexpected in a play dealing with such grizzly subject matter. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely dark and deals with human propensity for violence in a bold and exciting way, but it's also a very nuanced look at friendship and loneliness that I find to be very moving. It has two unusual and fascinating roles for women, Dani and Sonya, that will pose a thrilling challenge to actors. ”
