Two Girls

Recommended by

  • Bluebird Theatre Company: Two Girls

    Allie Costa's 'Two Girls' is a powerful and poignant one-act that tackles a sensitive and difficult subject with grace and depth. Costa's innovative structure and lyrical prose draw audiences into a compelling narrative that doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of trauma. The ability to convey the lasting impact of violence and the resilience of survivors makes 'Two Girls' a haunting and impactful work.
    Bluebird Theatre Company had the pleasure of publishing Bluebird Broadcast's audio production of 'Two Girls', with characters voiced by Amanda Stamm and Alexandra Rigby.

  • Ross Tedford Kendall: Two Girls

    Innovative in its structure, and moving in its message, Two Girls strikes into the heart of a tough subject, and never lets up. It's both brutal in its imagery, and yet sensitive in its overall theme. A masterful work.

  • Dan Taube: Two Girls

    Poetic, sad and beautiful. Costa has come up with a great visual concept to tell her tale. In the right parts, it really hurts to listen to (or read) these words. She makes a powerful point about trauma and how it stays with us the rest of our lives. Thumbs up!
