←Recommendations of Last Night in Inwood

It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Alix Sobler and their play Last Night in Inwood as a finalist for our 2018 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 53 finalists out of more than 1,4200 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process.

Such a fresh take on the "apocalyptic times" narrative!! Appreciate the decision not to mention any specific leader or administration to ensure the play speaks to us for generations to come. Identity politics will matter even at the end times so I'm glad we have such a well written play that tackles this head on.

We are pleased to support this play! It was a Finalist for the 2018 New Works Festival at Kitchen Dog Theater in Dallas, Texas.

Fitting that I thought of this play during the Thanksgiving season - in it, Sobler uses an apocalyptic backdrop that may as well be taking place tomorrow to examine the intersections of our politics and our identities, and to try to figure out just what makes a family a family, or a society a society.

A smart, compelling script that moves at a fast pace and keeps you on your toes, without skimping on nuance or character development.
