    Human and ethereal at the same time. A marvelous punch of poetry and pain on every page. Fantastical and fantastic.

    Amazing! Simpson utilizes a fantastical and absurd theatrical reality to potently explore the disenfranchisement, abuse, and continual existential dread Black women in America must face daily. This piece also looks at the ways society tries to alienate, isolate, and pit women against one another, and how community, affinity, and fellowship lead to healing. The role and responsibility of men in this work is also addressed deftly. The story is both human and emotionally resonant while also having some of the boldest and most memorable visual metaphors I've experienced in a play. The ending sequence, in particular, is evocative.

    SANDBLASTED blazes on the page! Charly Evon Simpson's writing is effective, evocative and engaging. This script effortlessly works with absurdity, reality, urgency and the ambiguity of waiting. An exciting piece of theatre!
