    “ Taught, tense, and compelling. Captures the horror and helplessness of our moment, and forces us to confront our need for action against a backdrop of complacency. There's a pure sense of theatricality in the script that would be fascinating to see on stage. Hope to see this play get the attention and productions it deserves. ”

    “ A fantastically powerful piece that completely takes over you emotionally and leaves it's mark. Excellent work. ”

    “ This play is intense from the moment it starts to the moment it ends - though it still feels it is going on. The characters, wedded to their aims are challenged every moment of the way -- Can the stakes get higher? Can we do something to help their goal of waking up the world to climate change? This problem lands in our laps. Well done.

    “ Timely and so thrilling and a play that will stick with me for some time. Bublitz holds nothing back in this ten minute thrill ride. The thought of sacrificing yourself for a cause is as heartbreaking as it is terrifying and the terror built and built in this play that inspired me as a writer of what might be possible on the stage. ”

    “ Brilliant and Exciting! This is intensely theatrical and timely! Wow - I won't forget this soon - and it made me think, holy shi$%^! I too live on an island! ”

    “ Heartbreaking and timely - a call to arms on climate change action. Moving piece, highly evocative, and powerful in its brevity! ”

    “ Builds from a gripping first image toward a memorable and terrifying end. SWALLOWED is an opportunity: a quick, intense play with a necessary call-to-action that gives a director and three actors the chance to shine. ”

    “ So this is an INTENSE ten minutes. Bublitz throws us into the action and immediately makes us spectators to something that is noble but terrifying. Swallowed is definitely a script that will stay with me for a LONG time. This would be an amazing entry for a night of short plays and/or an anthology. I would love to see it staged and would love to see actors get their hands on this one. ”

    “ Wow. Definitely one of my favorite climate control plays. This is the kind of play that can inspire playwrights to write their own climate control plays or be used by theatres and non-profits around the globe. The dramatic situation intensified by crashing waves and thunder creates a spectacle I've never seen on the page and stage. An amazing challenge for designers. In the future we will be inspired by our climate control martyrs. Produce this now, share it, tweet it, this is theatre that is necessary! ”

    “ Highest stakes I've ever encountered in a short play. Hits you from the first lines like a gale-force wind and doesn't let up. Bublitz shows us a desperate sacrifice that is terrifying and heartbreaking, but also beautiful in its purity. I'd love to see this staged. ”
