Recommendations of Tom & Eliza

  • Annalise Cain: Tom & Eliza

    This play is an absolute delight. It moves at the speed of light, it's downright hilarious, and the poetry and rhythm of the play are so refreshing. This play recontextualizes the mundanity of heterosexual, middle class modern life to reveal its reek of thoughtlessness and absurdity.

  • Aeneas Sagar Hemphill: Tom & Eliza

    An exquisitely-written two-hander that goes places you would not expect. It builds such a rich world with its language, and the characters feel like at any point they might burst from their containers. Imaginative, unsettling, and so much fun.

  • Asher Wyndham: Tom & Eliza

    Highly recommend for production. An epic play on love and falling out of love and falling back in love, on first date and the end of civilization (?) and everything in between (raising kids and book burning) -- a play that asks big questions on love, sex, marriage, parenting -- all of it narrated with a language that's only for theatre. Reminds me of Jenny Schwartz's playful approach to language. Check it out. I will definitely check out Song's other plays!

    A unique take on the "love story two-hander" genre. I'm still thinking about it a week after reading it.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Tom & Eliza

    One of my favorite plays ever! I love the language. I love the humor and the way this play exposes all of humanity for what we really are - animals! And while I admire Wally Shawn, I bet Wally Shawn wishes he had written this play! A must read! And very produce-able!

    I saw a reading of this play a year ago, and it still sticks with me. It's funny, unique, highly original, and consistently rewarding. I can't wait to see this play fully produced.
