  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Welcome to Keene, New Hampshire by Brian James Polak
    “

    Beautiful broad-reaching big-picture Wilderesque play that reaches out to pull its audience into its grip and then holds us enthralled for quite a long time full of moving moments. Polak does a great job with a large cast ensemble piece that evokes so much about this country, he just might break the spell we've been put under.

    A heartfelt evocation of loss in a community. Written with an assured point of view, compassion and beautiful outrage. Deceptive on the page - the play sneaks up on you in a quiet manner caught as it is between comedy and tragedy and the complexities of depicting the human condition.

    I love this play. Even on the early (first?) draft I heard, it made me appreciate being alive. I'd love to see a theater produce this.

    I found this play to be so beautifully crafted and moving. The many characters are all deftly drawn with heartbreaking skill. It's a sharp-eyed commentary on how small-town society has shifted into shadows that Thornton Wilder could never imagine. Brian is such a talented writer.
