    An exquisite dance of learning to embrace the freedom of your unique self and find joy after trauma. Fun and beautiful!

    A wry, sweet dance of a play that gets closer and closer to the pain of its characters without losing any of its sense of fun and theatricality. This writer completely understands how we create comfort and defenses for ourselves out of the fabric of popular culture, toys and disposable art. I'd love to see a production led by a dance company with full choreography.

    I have such an affection for Duck. It's funny and smart, but packs an emotional wallop that you won't see coming. It speaks beautifully to the experience of growing up and feeling like an "other," an outsider, yet does so with such a deft, delicate touch. And just like a duck, the clever allegory you see above water belies the dramatic turmoil at work underneath.

    This play cuts to the bone. And you'll have fun while you're being cut. In DUCK, Jonathan wrangles graphic novel tropes to tell an intimate, arresting, hilarious story about defining insider and outsider, surviving abuse, and the shifting masks of our enemies. The theatrical world lies deliciously somewhere between MAUS and a 52nd Street Project play for adults. I can't wait to see it.

    DUCK is a wonderful play. The world Jonathan builds is immediately compelling, and he deftly blends pop culture "nerd" tropes with a laser sharp examination of abuse and bigotry. The play never verges into maudlin, as his well timed humor frequently pulls the play from the dark side and brings much needed levity. It's been my privilege to watch this play develop over the past year.
