←Recommendations of Last Night in Inwood

A powerful glimpse into mounting tensions in an age of turmoil with varying views. Together they need to get through it, but the arguments rise. Will they rely on each other or be torn apart? Riveting and well done.

Alix Sobler is a technique juggernaut. With precision skill, she is able to build fully realized worlds that encircle and intoxicate audiences. I had the pleasure of seeing "Last Night in Inwood" in New York City, and this play is dying to be produced. What could be worse than the end of the world... besides having to spend it with your family? This play is more than an apocalypse story, it's about the generation gap. Our inability to communicate. It's about the world millennials have inherited.

A deftly rendered micro-cosm of the city is brought together in an apartment as imminent disaster looms! Sobler has created a fascinating and naturalistic portrait of how a scenario such as this might play out in real life. The page-turning dialogue moves at a brisk pace and the world building, ever important in a science fiction piece, is subtle but richly layered and communicated mostly through the socio-cultural issues at play. I hope to see a production of this sometime in the near future!

Last Night in Inwood is a dynamic and compelling page-turner, I imagine I will be on the edge of my seat watching a production of this soon. It's relevant, fast-paced, genre-bending, and nuanced. I'm such a fan of Alix's work, her dialogue is on point and her plot construction is sharp and well crafted. Additionally, her clear understanding of inherent situational conflict will leave you wanting more. This was a pleasure to read.

Sobler deftly transforms the political and economic fears of the millennials into a chosen-family drama about indecision in the face of the apocalypse. This play is tightly focused on the precisely drawn characters yet paints big pictures about the state of the world. So glad to have seen a workshop production.

Last Night in Inwood is a striking and terrifyingly realistic apocalyptic exploration. Sobler expertly delves into the nearly impossible choices we have to make for ourselves and our loved ones in the face of unpredictable circumstances. This play is funny, heartwarming, thrilling, and deeply honest all at the same time. There were many moments when I was breathless, waiting with hope and dread for the next moment. A piece great for any ensemble, Last Night in Inwood is ultimately a play about connection and finding a way forward.

Last Night in Inwood examines the state of the world, and asks us to consider differing perspectives on how we got to where we are. It is a play about the things people don't want to confront but must in dire situations. It's about the uncomfortable truths and the ignorant lies. But most of all, it's about the importance of coming together in times of need.

This play can be silly one moment, and solemn the next, but an interesting read the whole time.

I've been living in Inwood since just after 9/11, so I can vouch for the world that Sobler creates as real and beyond that, she has made it wonderfully funny and all-too-true as she works to get us to look at all of our differences and yet the show really brings us all closer together by revealing the schisms. Kudos for that!

An unforgettable apocalyptic ride. Alix's Last Night in Inwood is fast-paced, funny, heartbreaking and scarily believable. Alix deftly has her characters breach rifts of feminism, racism, homophobia and generational schisms to come together into the symbol of what we need today: unity. Loved the reading I just saw - can't wait to see it in production.

An apocalyptic comedy isn't an easy thing to pull off, but Alix does it exceedingly well, succeeding in drawing laughter even as she ignites our fear for the future of our country--and the world--and makes it clear that if we don't learn to stand together now, we're destined to be torn apart. We keep hearing theaters say that in these dark times, they want comedy; this comedy FOR dark times is the answer.
