I’m enraptured. The imagery, the language, I can see this spilling out on stage like a suitcase of memories strewn across the floor. It’s utterly gorgeous.

It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Carson Kreitzer and their play Capital Crime! as a finalist for our 2017 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 55 finalists out of more than 1,300 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers praised the play’s bold theatricality and were struck by the stunning language and imagery.
