←Recommendations of SQUEEK! (copywright October 2015, MADELINE PUCCIONI)

Madeline Puccioni begins SQUEEK as a family sitcom set in a dystopian bio-punk future, and ratchets up the weirdness until it escalates into an absurdist Grand Guignol. The dialogue is witty and the world-building comes fast through immersion rather than exposition. I want to see more of this grotesque surveillance state.

A sharp, unsettling, and surprisingly heartfelt piece of dystopian satire. Puccioni builds a world that feels both wildly imaginative and uncomfortably familiar, blending humor, horror, and social commentary with remarkable efficiency. I admire how cleanly the script moves, how confidently it handles its tone, and how much humanity it finds even in characters who are not entirely human. It’s a cautionary tale about class, desperation, and the thin line between civility and survival.

I definitely want the full length. This is a brilliant comedy like something twisted from Terry Gilliam with a bit of Ionesco and the TV show Dinosaurs. It is outrageous, but it says a lot about the haves and have nots and inequality. A dream come true for designers. Connect with this playwright.

Wonderfully inventive! I had the pleasure of reading Baby Lulu at the Dramatists Guild Conference in 2018 and it was great fun. If you love absurd, dark, hilarious stories, you'll want to read this play!

What a funny and timely play. Love the futuristic setting and it would be such a great play to produce and direct and act in. I so recommend this play!

I love this play. It’s so witty and dark with such strong characters. Madeline makes a political statement without hitting us over the head with righteous indignation, not an easy feat. It’s funny and scary and really needs to be seen, especially now!
