- Jason Fliess:9 Nov. 2017“ Beautiful theatre of the absurd, taking on power imbalances and rape culture and sexual abuse while also, improbably, being extremely funny. I'm a huge fan. ”
- Hallie Palladino:8 Oct. 2017“ This play is a terrifying and absurd look at pathological misogyny played out in the most unlikely of classrooms. The play starts dark and gets darker, but it also manages to be deeply entertaining as Formby takes full advantage of the comic possibilities of the heightened world she's created. ”
- J. Joseph Cox:19 Sep. 2017“ Em ‘n' Nam explores the power and gender dynamics between a student and her professor in a wildly fun, at times horrifying, and absolutely absurd way. Dana creates a classroom where truth is whatever comes from the mouth of the powerful. That truth is defined and redefined with every sentence--be it spoken or not. ”
